Yes, since you can use J2EE session variables and leverage the scalability of the underlying J2EE system. > Did you hit on session management in a cluster?

Client variables are restricted to simple data types, session variables can be anything (including CFCs). That alone may be sufficient reason to prefer session variables to client variables. Also, with client variables, you are restricted to cookies (increasing download / get / post time), registry (very bad!) or a database (serialization overhead and data access times). I can't see the appeal of client variables so I'd be interested to hear from folks - like Matt - who use them and prefer them to session variables.
