Why choose the Nano version of the Lenovo IdeaPad S12

I have written here before several times that the VIA Nano version of the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 is cheaper than the Atom version. But aside from price, is there a good reason to choose it? An UberTechGuy - the nick name he calls himself, not my nickname for him - did choose the Nano version and here's why:

"I looked at all of the netbooks on the market and settled on the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 with the VIA Nano ULV 2250 (1.30GHz 800MHz 1MB) processor. Why VIA instead of Intel Atom? I liked the fact that it would address 3 GB of memory (RAM), had a very fast front-side BUS (quick communication between the processor and the rest of the system) and 1MB of video memory (fast video). Also, the reviews and benchmarks (speed tests) were very good. I should note that the VIA is a 64-bit processor."
