You already named it, full management from a single pane. Enforcing firewall security up to each switch port incl. quarantine, easy deployment of VLANs, PoE or FullPoE models, resetting devices via PoE-up/down from the FGT etc.
Pro FortiSwitch:
low price to performance ratio (low price for ample performance)
variety of models
Con:
physical ports are either TP/RJ45 or SFP/SFP+/LC. I can imagine you could get Cisco switches which take port modules for other infrastructure (WAN ports, T1, ...). I doubt that the models you named are capable of this, though. And I personally haven't been in urge for this yet. An office environment doesn't ask for this neither.
