Been reading and re-reading the section on true drakes in Clutch Of Dragons, and still trying to figure something out. What does the true drake get for the extra 60 BP spent for the quality that the drake does not? I have tried searching around here, but it does not look like this question has been asked before.

I've managed to come up with a few ideas, but I am curious to what others here think about the points difference.
