I suspect it's because it's less complicated - people in the UK for the most part resist the idea of having a "new" currency (look how upset everyone got at the idea that we could use the Euro). By retaining the pound as currency it'll still be familiar, and Scotland already produces its own special banknotes and the like so there's already an existing sense that Scottish Money isn't like English Money.
I also think that at least some of the current feeling is "YOU CAN'T TELL US WHAT TO DO", which is why the volte-face about the desirability of the pound is just accepted.
