I'd say the only 'catch' to be aware of, is if you want to integrate a VERY wide range of values and keep accuracy. If you're using extremely large numbers then trying to add very small numbers, in other words. Worst case the small numbers would not change the value at all. I see that being an extremely unlikely scenario for QC though, unless somebody is crazy enough to use it for scientific work or something.
