Type 3 Slowly Changing Dimension

I am trying to find a best example / scenario where a type 3 scd would make more sense than a type 2. In my understanding type 3 can easily be derived from type 2.
If anybody has used type 3 dimension instead of type 2, please let me know the scenario and some reasoning why you used that.
Thanks for your time.
