I remember of a similar thread in a.org. Someone in there said that the only disadvantage to this, is that the number of times that you can write on the same "sector" of a CF is limited. After a certain amount of rewrites it becomes a bad sector.
Another one is that a CF is a little more expensive than a HD of the same capacity. But as you said, they are becoming cheaper.
