Telekinetic Vacuum Balloons?

Generally, when someone uses telekinesis to fly, it's either by riding an object that can be levitated, or by applying the power to their body. Would there be any advantages to alternative techniques, such as the titular vacuum balloons?

Since "telekinesis" is vague and overpowered if unconstrained, I'd focus on something vaguely resembling Green Lantern Constructs: "hard light" force-fields that must be physically connected to the caster in some way, which can be shaped by the caster. The more force exerted, the more energy is used, so it is more costly to move more massive objects, to resist greater forces, or to affect a larger area.

So, were a telekine to create a balloon-shaped force-field, and expand it so that it is empty of air, would this have any advantages as a means of levitation, over just standing on a force-field and lifting that directly? If it depends on the precise numbers, what would be some general estimates of those?
