I don't understand why gnomes out of the shorty bunch are better than a Drow WS. Other than natural Drow MR....

Second: shorties get Saving Throw Bonuses depending on their constitution (maximum -5 at 18 CON).So if a spell/ability bypasses magic resistance (some do), then you'll have to rely on saves. That's where Shorty Bonuses help you.
