The disadvantages are many, but the main one is in that the digital signal is converted to analog and then back to digital, and the resulting "double-vocoded" audio which has been put through two lossy CODEC's will sound really bad. You cant double vocode using Maxtracs, they have no vocoder to begin with. This is a transparent repeater and will pass IMBE, VSELP, AEGIS and D-Star. Might even be wide enough for 12KB Securenet. What it lacks is error correction so digital errors present on the input will be passed right along. This results in reduced range. This is a good way for Hams to start using their P25 radios immediately while shopping for a Quantar. I am building one right now.
