As there advantages to upgrading to Office Home and Business 2019 vs. purchasing Outlook separately, other than price?

Hello Cheryl
The key advantage that you would have by getting H&B is that all apps are fully integrated but not sure that's worth the cost by paying for the other apps again. Personally, if I couldn't get a refund of by H&S purchase, I'd opt for purchasing Outlook to complement
H&S.
Just some things to consider for sake of comparison
If you are inclined to considering getting H&B - you may want to consider the Office 365 Personal subscription which, based on current pricing, the cost would be the same over a 3yr period which will always be current and can be used on all your devices as
compared to the one-time H&B which can be used on only one computer with no option to upgrade to new Office versions.
Stand-alone Outlook works out to be just shy of 2 yrs vs Office 365 Personal subscription.

Only mentioning the above as something to think about since the Office 365 sub provides a lot more (which may or may not be relevant to you - something only you can decide)
