Once you've run an archetype, you have a new project. And you're stuck
with it, in the sense that you have to keep it maintained.

An important question is this: what artifacts do you want to make as
part of a release? If you want a portfolio of artifacts, each for one
of your scenarios, then profiles aren't very useful, but the invoker
plugin might be.

On the other hand, if you never make releases, and you just want to
run various build with various results, then profiles can be
convenient.

The invoker is generally used for testing, and I've never tried it as
a solution to DRY-ing up a build that has to produce multiple small
variations.
