It may cost a bit more to get set up initially and it definitely is less readily adaptable to other vehicles, but you do have a lot less extra equipment to worry about and hooking up and unhooking is less involved.
If you do tow with a dolly, consider getting an aftermarket hitch for the Fit so you can use it to tote the dolly around if you need to move it from the campsite.
