Second man on the moon, Buzz Aldrin, conceived this concept.
The advantage is that it uses much less fuel. Perhaps one disadvantage that I see is that you must stay on Mars for a very long time. It might take five years or more to go through the cycle so that a crew can make a return journey home to Earth.
Obviously, I still don't understand this concept completely. However, I think this is a valid concern, because there is no way it can be less than two synodic periods. This means at least five years, and probably more.
Five years is a very long time.
