Sometimes when you ask for advice the might give you something you didn't think of. Also, hearing more options can help you. It is a lot easier to pick from a bunch of options instead of just 2 or 3. Lastly, most of the time, not having multiple options can lead to the person picking a not so great option. The more options you have, the more likely you are to pick a great one.
