Meet us halfway, Avnish, and tell us what the salesperson for or against it said, or what the article you read said. You must be holding some ideas on the subject that motivated you to write. Thanks.

Avinash,

There are no disadvantages.
But all depends fully on the additive systems by the supplier.
I have seen the system working at high metal conc.; carrying high current with out burn and working at high pH with out trouble from dissolved iron.
Better ask the supplier to prove at your shop.And the go ahead.
For more tech perfect details, please come out with more details as told by Ted.
