There is a VIP package, though, where you are escorted to a separate lounge area, and clear immigration and customs there. Last time I checked, unless you had some premium Argentinian credit cards the price was 250 USD and I honestly don't think it's worth it.
95% of all the Argentine issued high-end cards that offered this have since axed the service. Having used it quite a few times back when it was first introduced, I agree that is was really nothing special with only the no hassle private immigration/customs being of relevance... perhaps some local celeb/sports star spotting if that was your thing - but nothing more.
