Handmade Concrete Forms vs Sonotube

What is the advantage of Sonotube concrete forms? Is is just that they are easier and quicker than building your own concrete form out of plywood? They are certainly not cheaper than building your own out of plywood (are they?). Are there other advantages/disadvantages I'm not thinking of? The reason I'm asking is that I'm gathering info on concrete pier foundations for home building.

Plus it is visually "finished" looking. Then, you might dig a hole 3' deep, and want the concrete 1' above grade. Voila. Use a 12" x 48" tube.
