Isn't the ability to rearrange content within the code a benefit from an SEO standpoint? As you are able to move the most relevant content to the top of your code?

CSS layouts allow you to take advantage of the "Top Down" method that SE's use to scan your code.

Using the "Any Order Columns" method, you can order the content in your code thus placing the content early in the source code so that the SE's read it first. You then use CSS to position the Div's into your layout as the browser renders the page.

Here's a pretty good example of how it's done:
