The major disadvantage is access: you cannot just grab a camera or a lens while carrying it. So, I've only used it for situations where I'd be using a tripod, anyway. However, I no longer sling a Billingham 335 over my shoulder. When I'm walking around, I want a bag no bigger than my Hadley, and leave the 335 back in the hotel room.
