Why not Amazon (8525 Upgrade)?

At one time I thought the restriction was that when upgrading through Amazon one HAD to upgrade to the PDA data plan. Well here is the fine print currently on the 8525:

CONDITIONAL $250 Equipment Discount Included: Your price paid includes an Equipment Discount of $250 that has been provided to you in exchange for either activating a new, non-substitute line of service or renewing an existing line of service and your agreement that, for the 181-day period following activation or renewal, you will (1) pay your balance due each month and otherwise maintain your account in good standing, (2) not disconnect this new line of service, (3) not transfer this equipment to another line of service, (4) not transfer or port an existing phone number to this line of service, (5) not change your service rate plan to a service plan with a lower monthly service rate, and (6) not use this line of service to replace an existing line of service. If these conditions are not met, you hereby agree to pay and authorize A-1 Wireless to charge your credit card $250 as reimbursement of this Equipment Discount without need for further approval.

Looking at the fine print I don't see anything about the data and none of those restrictions would concern me. I pay my bill on time, not going to disconnect the service, yada, yada, yada.

So with that said, what ARE the disadvantages for using Amazon to upgrade as opposed to ATT?
