Don't buy the argument that a pre-inspection makes things less stressful for the seller. First, when they get a copy and realize that they have to repair or disclose everything on the list, .... Furthermore, educated buyers want control over the repair process and will not even want the sellers involved with arranging repairs.

First, I have no doubt if the agents were on here saying a Pre-Inspection was a bad thing you'd be touting the benefits of one but for the sake of argument...
1-Seller knows they won't get any surprises
2-They can shop around for prices and contractors and pick theirs to do the repairs w/o being in a tight time frame trying to work it out and get repairs prior to closing.
3-Buyer has more peace of mind/less concerns about condition so they may feel more comfortable not only moving forward with an offer but paying more knowing the condition is good. If they still have concerns they still have the right to hire their own inspector for a new inspection or bring in a contractor to make sure repairs were done properly.
