Setting up things like DNS servers and gateways in a central place is of course easier. I hadn't really considered that because I just run a simple home network and have never considered changing my subnet or DNS. The only issue I see with reservations is the need to discover the MAC addresses of all the devices, but I suppose that's not too onerous.
