Well, the tiny little cables are enough of an advantage for me, since my case is overcrowded. And I found the drive at a great price, around $100 for a 120GB, which was comparable to the price of an ultra ATA.
The power attachment issue is (currently) a non-issue. All the SATA drives I've seen (admittedly, they were all Western Digital drives) include both the standard 4-pin power connector and the new style SATA power connector. And chances are, if you buy a motherboard that supports SATA, it includes at least one adapter that converts from the old 4-pin power connector to the new SATA style power connector (mine came with two).
