Pros:
1. Won't destroy your paint, if you spill it.
2. Won't absorb water.  Major plus, if you don't drive your car often.  
Conventional fluid absorbs water, especially when it sits for a long period of 
time.

Cons:
1. Not recommended for race applications.  (Can't remember why.  I think it has 
something to do with heat or pedal feel.)
2. Not compatible with conventional brake fluids.
3. Must be poured slowly and carefully.  Tends to trap air bubbles when poured 
quickly.
