as I understand, mirror regulated means that the negative rail is tied to the 
voltage of the positive one, so if for whatever reason the positive supply goes 
away, the negative goes to zero too - and vice versa. the benefit would be to 
never asymmetricaly supply a circuit that needs a symmetric power supply and 
thus kill less 2164s.
