Short answer: It depends.

Long answer:  The eventManager sits on top of a Publish/Subscribe 
framework (Observer design pattern) so it is useful if you want to have 
lots of handlers for a specific event and/or if you want your handlers 
to be loosly coupled with the windows where the event was generated.  If 
you put your handlers in the same class as the window that generated the 
event (or a parent window) then using the simpler form is just fine.
