Using DSI Intakes permit to reduce maintenance costs, possibly reduce weight (no moving parts means, no valves, no pipes, etc...) you got several advantages with that.
Also, I hope to see better manufacturing of the structure, as we could see on high-res pictures of J-10A quality of structure assembling was variating following a random path... you could see a vintage type assembly beside a good quality assembly, it was like the aircraft had been modified several times (this is what I think). To conclude, it was far away from what you could notice on Western aircrafts like Rafale, Eurofighter, Gripen or ever 80's aircrafts like F-16, Mirage etc...
