Other than storage, pros and cons of a dolly to towing flat. Seems like less cost.
Did both. Besides less cost, you can tow almost any vehicle that fits size and weight limits of dolly. 4-down will cost you about $2.5 to $3k more after you add tow bar, base plate, auxiliary braking system and associated labor and cables this assume the car you own is able to be towed 4-down.
I save +/-15 minutes with 4-down plus the aggravation of connecting breakaway chains and tire harnesses which was especially fun in a rainstorm on a dirt site! Plus moving the dolly around on a small site and in my storage yard wasn't much fun either.
