It has been established that log and info are basically the same thing, but I'm not sure that completely answers the question:

What is the benefit of using console.log vs console.info?

One benefit, apart from what has already been mentioned, is you can use each for a different purpose. For example, you might use console.log just for quick debugging and spitting things out to the console, while you might use console.info for permanent messages you want to output to the console in your code, such as information on the current app status. Then when you have a situation where a random object is printed in your console and you realize you've left a log statement in there somewhere by accident, you can do a global search for 'console.log' and delete every instance and have confidence you didn't delete anything important that you meant to leave in there.
