You can't choose the weather on a moonless night.
You can't control surrounding light sources.
You can't stop your own family from turning lights on in the house.
You can't drive 100Km to a dark site every night.

A portable obs helps make the most of available conditions and at 10% the cost of a permanant obs is well worth the effort.
