Oh, actually I did think of a potential disadvantage, but it's sort of a specific case.

In cases where there have been goals in an SE which were too difficult and they were changed in the middle of the SE during its initial run. However, those changes have not been carried over to the Flashbacks. At least not in the few instances where we've seen that occur. I believe the Front Runner SE was one example (and I think there have been 1 or 2 others). In Front Runner, the goals for 8.5 and 8.6 were quite difficult and many players (myself included) skipped those 2 and then filed a trouble ticket with FM. I received a refund in the amount I paid for those skips after they changed the goals to be less difficult.

However, when the Front Runner SE was recently brought back as a Flashback, the original goals for 8.5 and 8.6 remained, so players often had to apply more upgrades to complete the SE for the Flashback than players who played the original SE had to.

So, considering this King of the Ring SE is still ongoing, there's a slight possibility a similar issue could occur. But, I admit it's a pretty slight chance since we haven't run into a similar situation very often over 5+yrs of gameplay.
