There are substantial disadvantages, too.
In order to take advantage of the greater port-density(-per-dollar) on FR switches right now, the end user has to use FR, which is not always practical or desirable.
One of the reasons why end users find frame-relay undesireable is that they cannot be assured that their provider is not grossly oversubscribed on PVC-per-port density. When you buy a T1 private line, you can be assured that you're not sharing it with 120 other end-users. :-) - paul
