Battens: What/How Useful?
ChanceKJ:
They help increase the structural integrity of your project as they provide more surface area for the panels to connect with each other.

What ^^^ said.
Plus, they allow you to connect all your panels from the inside, avoiding screw holes. See the Dynamo HS-1 for a great example. I wish someone would make repros of those!

Using wooden battens with an MDF panel also gives you something more substantive to screw into. You can technically screw into MDF but the screws will not hold as well as they will into wood.
