Loading data in model vs store

[Silencer312]

Hello,

What is the difference/advantage of loading data in a model vs loading data via a store?

I can define a rest proxy in my model to load the data and do all operations. I can also do the same by defining a store and specifying the model. Why would I want to use a store? What situations demand using such a store?

A store is for a group of records, a model is for a single record (typically).
