Restriction Requirement

Don't mean to slow this board down, but I've got a Q for the prosecution geeks out there:
When responding, nontraverse, to a restriction requirement, is there any benefit to withdrawing nonelected claims vs. cancelling nonelected claims?
e.g., are there benefits for divisional filings, not creating potential estoppel issues, etc?

Thanks!

Species or different inventions?

Fellas. It's been 3 years & 2 days. I *really* need to get back to this examiner. I think she's starting to realize I'm stalling.

You inquired: "When responding, nontraverse, to a restriction requirement, is there any benefit to withdrawing nonelected claims vs. cancelling nonelected claims?"

I helpfully respond: yes.

Thanks PT! I really think we're starting to get somewhere now. This case is starting to gather some serious momentum. I'm tempted to expedite prosecution. Thoughts on this?

It's been almost 10 years, ladies. Can we get an answer or two on this?

Re: Restriction Requirement

Is it a restriction between different inventions or between patentably distinct species?
