The benefit would be that the roots have more room to grow, and much less solution required to flood. The drawback is that the plants are stationary.

I was watching a video where the guy was discusting how C02 right around a leaf gets sucked up, and then there's less in that area, and so you need a fan to stir things up... i was wondering if the same is true for the nute solution around roots, and if anyone has tried a propellor in the solution to keep stirring it up around the roots.
