Just reread your post and thought I'd add.... Specific downsides to me are:

-Cost
-The scales only go up in 5g increments, it pees me off. They should put better scales in.
-despite the sales pitch sometimes it's a real b**** to clean! Most of the time easy but when it isn't it really isn't.
-sometimes I want to make really big batches of stuff (like soup or jam) although I was worried about the capacity being too small for meals but it makes soooo much food. It's just those other things that I use the saucepan for instead
-the recipe books are IMO overpriced and a bit crapola (but there are some truly awesome blogs for free on the net!)

That's all from me. HTH.
