Alan, I would not say that there are no major benefits. For example I have a copy of every relevant census attached to each individual in my files. It is surprising how often I want to check a census when looking at a possible addtion or correction, and it is there at the click of a button. I have a copy of the image of all my sources attached to the individuals concerned.
I consider that it is invaluable.
