The journey takes approximately 2 hours and 6 minutes, slower than the Shin-O Line, but boarding at Namba is convenient for tourists in the vicinity as it avoids the hassle of paying extra, and the fare is cheaper. There are free lockers on board for large luggage; however, there's likely no space in front of the seats.
