Probably nothing, if you're asking about changing a current MTA
deployment when you're satisfied with what you have.  If you are looking
for an alternative to replace what you have because of frustrations with
your current setup, or if you are considering new deployments and whether
it is worthwhile to learn something new, that is another story
altogether.
