One disadvantage could be the challenge of backup, if your computer crashes and your HD is wiped clean.
And you forget your password to the TT support site and lose your internet connection all at once!
On the plus side: Download = Immediate gratification!!!!

no pretty box to put on your shelf [edit] darn… ninja’d [/edit]
(on the other hand, there’s a good chance you’ll get the nearly-all-black everything-in-it-but-the-license-keys box instead of the individual EZX box if you order the physical thing online… …or offline, but at least there you can beg for it a little easier… … …so you might sorta not have the pretty box anyway)
since it’s download only, if you have to reinstall and don’t have a local downloaded or disc copy and don’t have the internet, you’re SOL… but you’re sorta SOL anyway, unless you happen to be on a computer you’ve used before and already have the response code from the internet (i.e., you’re just *re*-installing and saved all the codes somewhere).
you don’t get the opportunity to lose the discs
you have to wait for the download (… … …as opposed to waiting for the physical disc to arrive and waiting for it to install off of the slower-than-your-hard-drive optical disc drive)
you might have to find where you downloaded it
there’s no disc autorun
the download takes up hard drive space
umm… you don’t get to throw the disc around like a frisbee…
…you can’t microwave the disc…
…
…

I’m running out of disadvantages…
…but suffice to say… there’s lots of them! 😀
and pretty much all are superlatively unimportant. 😀
