Default Advantages in increasing levels in the ability

Thank you very much Sir Whiskers. I wonder, besides the increase in mana and being allowed to destroy items of greater level, Is there any advantage in terms of crystals or magic runes obtained from increasing levels in this ability? (That is, if for example, destroying a level 4 item with Neatness level 2 or 3 makes a difference in terms of the crystals or runes obtained.)

The amount of crystals derived from an item is fixed by item level. If you do not have the Neatness skill at all, all items destroyed generate only 1 crystal

With Neatness skill:

Level 1 item = 3 crystals
Level 2 item = 4 crystals
Level 3 item = 5 crystals
Level 4 item = 6 crystals (or 1-2 runes)
Level 5 item = 7 crystals (or 1-3 runes)

You have to have higher levels of the skill to use the skill on higher level items:

Neatness 1 = Destroy items of level 1-3
Neatness 2 = Destroy items of level 1-4
Neatness 3 = Destroy items of level 1-5

As only items of level 4 and 5 have the possibility of generating runes, the higher levels in this skill can be very nice, depending on how many such items you find and destroy. Still, by the end of the game, I'm not certain there's a net gain in runes from increasing the ability.

The first level of the skill is a no-brainer to me, as it noticeably boosts your stash of crystals. The other two levels can be useful, but as with everything else, you have to weigh the advantages against the cost in runes that could be used for another skill.
