Gravure is the same as Page 3 girl on the British newspapers The Sun or The Daily Star (there are still girls but they aren't topless anymore). It's for erotic purposes but only lightly so you don't get branded as a porn actress. This means easier entry into the general entertainment industry. Many tarentos are ex-gravure, few are ex-AV. Many page 3 girls also became normal British celebrities.

Also even generally AV generally focuses on things Japanese men can't get from gravure, so if you want a proper GF experience gravure is often the way to go.
