Well, as I see it, there's absolutely nothing beneficial about changing the ents, though it doesn't destroy the movie either. The ents are one of the few things that I can truly seperate from the books and not overly complain about. Like (I think) you said Eomer, you had a hard time visualising the ents while reading the books, and so did I. Every time I read the Two Towers my visualisation changed; sometimes they looked more stone-like than tree-ish and othertimes more human than tree-ish and sometimes just tree-ish. So when I saw the movie, the ents were definitively Peter Jackson's version and I could easily differentiate between the two.
So I'm not sure if I've answered your question, but here's my take on things. Nice thread, by the way.
