when to use lattice or smooth skin

Hi people,

just a general question on when one would use a lattice as opposed to just smooth binding a model to the skeleton

it seems to me lattices are a lot easier and faster than using smooth binding and just painting weights which can be a real tedious pain in the behind...
and it appears that a lattice can be transfered to other models a lot easier than weights

so why bother with smooth binding and messing around with weights?




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
