Cascades have there +'s & -'s

They draw a lot of power and output a lot of heat, plus they makes a fair amount of noise. If your chip cannot handle temps of -100c or lower then the Cascade is out. I have had plenty of chips that do not like the Cascade coldness.

LN2 gives you plenty of options, can handle higher heat loads better buy pouring more LN2 and you can fine tune your temps to any temp you want really.

Each tool has its place. I usually start out with SS Phase, then Cascade and finally LN2 if it looks like the chip will perform.

All that said a Cascade makes running very easy, don't have to pour LN2, can take your time tunning etc.
