I personally don't like them -- a minifigure scale model takes much more time
and effort -- and if you build one to scale, like my B-1B Lancer model is,
people will revere you, and worship you... (at least, for all the effort I put
into my B-1, I deserve something of that sort .. )

You can be detailed with a minifigure scale model.

Sometimes this is true ... but not always. If you are really good at making
microfig scale models, then yes, you can pull it off and make it better then a
regular minifigure scale model.

If you want to make microfigure scale models, go ahead. They won't be as
popular as somebody's "9-foot-long-battleship," but hey, they are yours.
Anyway, most people don't spend money on a new model -- usually, they buy or
get the pieces beforehand.
