For a non-savvy user keeping an iTunes library synced to a USB device isn't that simple, so that's 2 big cons. If one is using iTunes for music management, and many people are, it's not easily transferred to USB drives.

I can also attest that with 15,000 songs it takes 5-10 minutes minimum to index and give you the ability to search the USB stick
So what is the answer to the poster's question then (repeated below)?
