The advantage is obviously the speed. It also means more chance to screw things up if you are not careful. There should be no down side if you do it correctly.
You are handloading .32 acp eh? Try .25 acp.

The Lee .32 ACP set doesn't have a 4th crimping die, so that's one reason I decided I would try doing it in the same operation, but it sounds like whenever possible it's best to crimp in a different op.
And looking at Lee's website, I see their bullet seating dies can apply both a taper crimp and also a roll crimp depending on how deep the die is seated. So I may have roll crimped all my .32 ammo last night as I was going for a firm taper crimp and didn't know the die was also capable of roll crimping.
