Every time I have to rely on an external solution, I lose a fragment of reliability. The final script is concise enough that speed and complexity is not the primary concern. With a larger, more complex script I can then justify writing an installer and thus guarantee the OSAXen are placed appropriately in the Scripting Additions folder etc. Gives me the option to tell the user to _re-install_ after upgrades, crashes or meddlesome operators.
