What is the benefit of an oil filled baseboard heater vs. non-oil-filled?

If you are comparing oil filled baseboard heaters with ordinary old 50/60's style baseboard convection heating units. the major difference is in energy efficiency. The units will both heat a room of similar size with approximately the same time required (unless all doors and windows are closed - in which an oil-based heater's psychological impact will be most obvious. "A watched pot never boils" is the axiom here.) The idea is to obtain greater, or at least the same amount of heat, in approximately the same time, but with more energy efficiency. IMHO, any baseboard heating system is less efficient than other modes due to the usual location at the side of the room, as opposed to the center. However, if one MUST use baseboard heating, THINK GREEN!
