Cons:

Have to use rotary tumbler ($180 for 15lb. Thumblers) and liquid solution.
PITA to get this liquid, brass, and media seperated after tumbling.
SS media is a little pricey on front end ($25 for 5 lbs)

Pros:

Your brass will never be cleaner, including inside case and primer pockets.
Media lasts forever.
No dust.
Less wear on dies because cases cleaner on inside.
