Our manuscript got rejected but they offered to transfer it to other journals?

My supervisors and I submitted a manuscript to a journal. Our manuscript fit the scope but judging from their recently published papers it was clear that they favour another method and only every now and then publish papers with the method we used. We wanted to try anyway (they have a good impact factor) and got a rejection today with the offer to transfer the manuscript directly to a variety of other journals.

What I am wondering now is: does it make any difference whether this journal directly transfers the manuscript or whether we take the manuscript and submit it to a journal by ourselves? Which of the two is the better option?

The main advantage with these trickle-through systems is that it saves you having to jump through formatting hoops.

So, the only reason to trickle down is if the paper they are sending it on to is if it is  the next on your taget list. If your next target journal isn't in their publishing house, or the next on the trickle-down list, then go elsewhere.
