For my money, I'd want to see what I'd repeated, so I'd have been happy to have to use up-arrow, enter, rather then just enter.
But my views don't always prevail.

Command repeating predates the implementation of command line history and works even if you don't have command line editing / history enabled.
Also, on commands like memory display, it auto-advances the address so that you can hit <return> multiple times to see the next chunk of memory. Command history requires you to edit the address manually to get the next chunk. (FWIIW, I would be happy to see most command repeats turned off, but memory display auto-advance is really nice.)
