The benefit of this route is that you are using the same wort with the same hopping rate and you will not be diluting your main batch wort.
I feel that if you make the starter the night before you will miss high krausen as it will easily occur during the night time hours while you are fast asleep especially if you already have a decent amount of yeast built up. If you miss high krausen (or close enough to it), then you will also be missing out on pitching your yeast at their most active stage which will give them a good head start on fermenting your beer.
The beauty of this is that there are lots of ways to "skin this cat".
