NetTopologySuite Coordinate vs Point for Entity Framework

Question

So after reading this article Working effectively with coordinates in Entity Framework the author advices to use NetTopologySuites Point class for storing coordinates in the lat/lng SRID 4326 format. In that way you can request the database for spatial aware information. Cool.

But the NetTopologySuite also contains a Coordinate class. Why shouldn't I use the Coordinate class? Or better said, whats the difference between Point and Coordinate

Point is the full fledged Geometry as defined in the OGC Simple Feature Specification. It can interact with other Geometry classes like LineString, Polygon and their Multi variants.

Coordinate is a data type for storing or creating vertices that are used in Geometry classes.
