Disadvantages of using model name rather than model class for FK field?

A ForeignKey field is often defined using the class to which the model is related, for example. from django.db import models from authors.models import Author class Post(models.Model): author = models.ForeignKey(Author) Alternatively the model name can be used, rather than the model class
