A 4 link will be far more tune-able than leaf spring. Moving where the links attach to the chassis and axle dramatically changes handling. Front and/or back of the links can be moved (up/down, what degree of triangulation). Also easy to swap in new spring rates with new coils.
This is all not necessarily a good thing as you can really screw up handling with a bad linkage setup if you don't know what you are doing Ask me how I know  4 links for a cobra have some design challenges as there is not a ton of room for long links, and suspension changes happen quickly with short links.
