Strip: coveand bead v. rolling bevel

...so, a little help with the definition of rolling bevel: it sounds like removing material from the fixed strip and the soon to be fixed strip so that the edges are aligned. more technically, if the total angle between the old strip and the new strip is 10 degrees, each strip is beveled (flat, the length of the strip) 5 deg.

if that is the def...it seems there is some division on whether or not to use the cove and bead or the rolling bevel. without going back to look through my previous post, there may have been more suggestions to use the rolling bevel. outside of initial time and cost are there other draw backs to cove and bead? advantages and disadvantages to rolling bevel?

thanks in advance.
