Just one thing to note, that the difference between copying all data to disc vs downloading is of requiring internet. There are still many places in the world where requiring internet access, specially for big downloads can be an issue.

Other than that, I agree with you. And for people with good internet connection, that difference doesn't matter anyway, both are similar for them.
