If you are thinking of the system architecture then sure, it makes sense
for the user to distinguish between SC and SN. Then it sounds nice to
add features like automatically switching between the two sources and
syncing the two Favorites lists.

SC7 advantages over SN for Internet Radio and Music Services usage:
+ SC can use Music Information Screen
+ SC offers immediate access to your local music library
+ SC includes Favorites folders and sub-folders for station favorites,
all editable and movable (SN has no folders)

What I have never been able to completely establish is whether there are
any services available on SqueezeNetwork that are not available on
SqueezeCenter.
As far as I can tell, as long as I am connected to SqueezeCenter, I
have access to all the on-line music services and internet radio as
well.

When do you need to switch between SC and SN on 7.3.3?
For example, if SC was the last connection and I turn on my SB it will
try to connect to SC again. If SC is not available I get an error saying
no SC found or something like like. It isn't obvious/intuitive what to
do
In which case, because I have a NAS running SqueezeCenter 24/7, there
is no real need for me to connect to SN. Or am I missing something?
no.

That is exactly the direction things are going with 7.4. It's not
