not many: they take up space, and can cause problems if accidentally loaded 
with no hardware to talk to. Other than those, I can't think of any, but 
besides making hardware upgrades a bit easier, I can't think of any 
advantages either. I'd say it balances, and that it can be left as a personal 
preference thing.
