There have also been several cases I know of where synthetic lawn has been stolen - thieves come in and rip it up, carry it off. Not sure how much of a realistic problem it is. Obviously more of a risk for publicly accessible areas such as out the front.

That is one of the major differences. I believe lawn can reduce the temperature of a house by 4 degrees. Not sure if that is true, but in my last house I had a lot of concrete, and that was still quite warm at midnight, so I could believe it.
