In TRACON world you have to know more than about 100 different approaches at, not just your main airport, but every satellite airport in and around your airspace. Crossing altitudes, courses, etc. plus a greater mix of complex and non-complex aircraft mixing into the same flow to the same runway.

'Course at the Center you have to know what's on the menu at the cafeteria
