We are a team of 25 engineers working on the same sbt based project. I don't see why we would move to pants. Do you have any non-marketing reason for why Pants is better than sbt?

Maybe, maybe not. As your codebase grows, it's likely to turn into separate parts with some common code. Pants can get you faster incremental builds: quickly figuring out what needs building, building just that. If sbt is quick for you, you might not have hit the point where Pants helps.
If you reach a point where sbt gets slow and you're looking at other build tools, that's a good time to look at Pants.
