Raspberry Pi Model A+ Board

Is small size the only thing the A/A+ has over the B/B+ board? Is size really such a big issue for prototyping boards like the Raspberry Pi?

Model A consumes less power than B, because it doesn't have the ethernet chip or port, does not have an onboard USB hub, has a single USB port and has less RAM.

A flatter profile is an advantage, when trying to tuck it into those narrow altoid boxes along with other circuits and battery packs.

Is is also cheaper. And if don't need the internet conectivity and so many usb ports why use the B?

Smaller size, smaller price and smaller power consuption. Also smaller memory, no ethernet and less USB ports.
