I haven't worked with the List manager in XL03, but in MacXL01 and v.X,
the List Manager, in addition to applying an autofilter, can

    -automatically apply validation to fields (columns)
    -automatically and dynamically apply autoformats
    -automaticaly and dynamically add formulas in calculated columns
    -maintain and update totals
    -automatically update pivot tables based on the list
    -automatically update charts based on the list
    -restrict entries to unique values
    -maintain column headings so they don't get sorted or filtered
    -maintain a totals row that can have just about any function (e.g.,
average, sumif, etc.
