I presume when you say "integrates further than necessary" you're referring to a separate python? I'm not sure though, from the literal interpretation of what you write.
Steve McMahon says: "Platform packages have been of uneven quality and have used installation trees that make it difficult for the community to offer help when problems occur. Also, platform packages have historically been vulnerable to changes in the system Python. Zope/ Plone is very picky about the version of Python used to run it, and an update of the system Python when some other item is installed can easily break Zope/Plone. At this point, you may be thinking that this just means that the packages have poorly specified dependencies. The Unified Installer was created because generation after generation of packages did not solve this problem." from http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/installing-plone-3-with-the-unified-installer I've never had any problems with the installer on win32 ubuntu opensolaris. And I've tested many instances of each operating system. So, the advantage of using the Unified Installer is that it saves time. If you want a standard installation then saving time is a good thing.
