For me the main advantage seems to be it is a ready-made unit.
It has a output shaft that can be easily coupled to the fuser, like a  
geared motor but really cheap. mine even has a switch.
I dunno, but with a paper shredder i would think you might get one where  
the motor isn't a closed unit, rather a bunch of plastic gears set into  
the plastic case, which could be tricky to use.
I've seen them motors for less than 10eur in the DIY store ads.

I did make my point, i think it is a good solution, do whatever you want,  
end of story.
