My biggest pro for Portra: never having to worry about developer type, agitation period and fixer ever again!
My biggest con against Portra: dealing with the nightmare of properly colour balancing your scans (high gamut monitor, spectrometer, ICC profiles... once you start down the Dark Path....)
I'm only starting off in the darkroom, not nearly as experienced with it as I'd like to be so while I know that I could dev and print from Portra myself I'm not nearly good enough to even try and that's what's keeping me from it.
