Less emissions, more torque, better fuel economy, easier to tune and make big power cheaply. For the average Joe, it's probable a wash with the Pentastar.
The torque curve is important as well. You'll see that turbos produce more torque at lower RPM. This gives the feeling of stronger acceleration and more effortless acceleration off the line/daily driving.
It is a myth that the Pentastar produces 90% of its torque near idle. It's probably closer to 4000k RPM then 100% around 5500rpm. The turbo engine will probably produce more torque, and 100% of torque around 3500k rpm.
