There is no inherent disadvantage with a simple respirometer for what I would assume to be a teaching application. There needs to be an understanding of the difference between teaching and research. A teaching unit is a black box that gives you numbers, a research grade respirometer gives you the actual data from the analyzers. Many manufacturers of teaching and or instructional systems such as Qubit Systems market their products as research grade but they are generally recognized as being strictly for teaching.
