Two differences, both mechanical.  First, unless you use something
similar to extended foil construction, it may be difficult to get a good,
robust connection to one end of the foil with a piece of wire.  Second,
during the inevitable shifting of things as you roll it all up, it will
be difficult to straighten out the foil without creasing it.
