    Yes: complexity.  Compare nadvice.el and advice.el.

The main difference seems to me that part of the arguments of
advice.el get pushed into the function that you need to pass
to advice-add.  So the complexity of using it is no more.
Also, you lose the ability to modify the argument values before
the advised function's body.

The doc string of advice-add is incomplete, so I cannot tell
what all its args mean or what it can really do.
