Helen,

To my knowledge, there is two advantages, which could be important or not
depending the system you use.  First, it's a weaker emitter (It count when you 
work with 50-60 microCuries.  Second, it's half-life is 25 days (11 days more
than 32-P) which may count...

Major inconvenient: Here in Quebec, it is *VERY* expensive... (In fact, not
affortable for us)
