Yes, you would need a 232 to 485 converter, the programing would be the same.
Big advantage is distance and "multiple devices".
If you interested search the forum, several discussions about converters, suppliers, and such. I have not used 485 enough to know all of the ins and outs, just enough to know it works well.

Sounds good. Im not doing long distance stuff yet but i will be in the future i hope. Maby only 1 or 2 hundred meeters though. In any case i will probly be using at least 10 chips on each dataline

Forgot to mention that the first time I used it was in a situation with a lot of electrical noise. Sending date to a CNC plasma machine RS232 was not reliable and RS485 solved the problem.
Good luck.
