The other characteristic is low Vce(sat). I have measured 6mV on some of the current E-line devices even at a few mA Ic. Of course this is a needed characteristic for applications like stepper-motor drive. There is a definite correlation between Vce(sat) and en.

The rbb' of some of the E-line devices has been measured (HH Ed 3) at sub 2-ohms with very low 1/f noise corner, better even than the legendary and long obsolete Rohm parts.

Diodes Inc have now recognised the low noise performance of their E-line devices, and list as one of the applications low noise audio.

The disadvantage is of course high capacitance, because of the extended (interdigitaged) junction area.
