Advantage of setting out seats (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asset

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'advantage of' is the definition.
'asset' can be an answer for 'advantage' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'of' bit.

'out seats' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator.
'seats' anagrammed gives 'ASSET'.

'setting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asset that I've seen before include "Valuable person" , "valuable sort" , "Useful item" , "Useful or valuable property" , "Something of value, worth having" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
