I am agreeing with you about one stop support. By absence of advantages I mean absence of performance related advantages. First thing about any simulator I want to know is 
a performance. It’s a primary characteristic of this kind software. Instead of this I am reading fairy tales about “bare metal”. In fact after first time reading vtAlpha SPD I was really 
impressed by such architectural approach. Of course there were some doubts - complexity of writing such thing can be compared only to writing new OS from ground up. 
Nevertheless I was greatly disappointed after looking into vtAlpha box. No bare metal, no miracles only plain boring Linux.
