Another advantage of using Cinema would be renderspeed (Cinema has one of the fastest engines on the market) and memory management (i.e. the Mil Dragon freezes on my PC if I try to render him with textures, lately, I have done a scene with two of them in it and some special effects, along with a high polycount landscape, rendered in just 12 minutes - you can find the image by doing a search in the galleries using my nick).
