The advantages equal the disadvantages. (or vice-versa)


However, neither that or Piscean's suggestion in post #7 address the issue of importance. They just state that there's as many of one as the other.

 

[Tarheel]

I find it very unnatural to phrase it that way. I might say, "The advantages outweigh the disadvantages." I would NOT say the disadvantages outnumber the advantages. It's not about numbers. If the one disadvantage is decisive it doesn't matter how many advantages there are.

Abe: There are a lot of advantages to having one.
Bob: They're just too expensive.

Abe: There are a lot of advantages to doing it.
Bob; it's just too risky.

(You might consider using benefits versus risks instead.)
