BusyBox is a good all in one executable with its reasonable ash shell, but it is not compatible to scripts written for bash. That's the reason why AVM additionally uses bash for some models. Unlike busybox bash mostly runs external commands which are not part of bash. However, bash also implements quite some internal commands, more than ash does.
