You do loose some light, about 3 percent if I remember correctly?? someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Weight will be an issue if you have a dob and use the Paracorr with a heavy EP.
Other than the removal of coma you also achieve a flatter field, ie, sharp stars from edge to edge.
It also changes your focal length by a factor of around 0.15x.
