in-wall vs on-stand

I'm not to swift with the charts, but if you had the choice which would you rather have?

If anyone has a in-wall tank, what's the cons for having a in-wall tank?

I have an inwall with a fish room behind it...I love it, all water changes ,equipment, feeding.. .well I guess everything is stored behind the tank. And I kept behind the tank cement with a drain so there isnt any dripping or the messes will dry quick.... I love it

We don't have an in-wall yet but, when we do get around to buying a home that's the way we plan on going. I just love how they look and I already have in mind how I want to decorated the wall it's in.

I would love to have an in wall tank. Hopefully when i upgrade that is the way we will go.

i guess i'd want the best of both worlds which would require a stand framed into the wall with a maintenance room behind the tank. that way i could see not only the front of the tank, but the sides also.
