One problem is tuning.  With copper tubing you can just hook to it

requires you to cut a lot of tap points in the insulation or just get
it right the first time.

Hi,
Remember, any time you change anything about the coil including 
adjusting the topload height, moving the coil and/or stuff in the 
room near it, you will have to do some retuning. Murphy's law 
gaurantees that the new tuning point will lie just under the 
insulation you haven't cut off YET. ;^))
