One huge advantage...STORAGE. You can keep an entire gallery on one hard drive. < Yeah, until your hard disk goes south. Backup is a good thing. Depending on the traditional media, you do have to watch out that you are not poisoning yourself. I am finding out that dark scenes are easier to do in traditional media than 3d. With 3d you have to worry about your gamma, ambient light and direct light shining on monitor. When a viewer says "Your picture is too dark", is it because they may have problems with their gamma/ambient light or direct light too?
