Grinder plate with hub or not?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of meat grinder plates with a hub? I see the Sausage Maker sells both grinder plates with a hub and without
Advantages:
Easier to put on and remove from a grinder. If you do your own sharpening by hand it's easier to handle the plate as you run it across a flat surface.
Disadvantages:
1. You can only use one side, then you need to sharpen. In a hubless, you can use both sides (with matching blades).
2. Higher price.
