I think there are advantages, but for me the care required out ways them.

As I understand it, a four weight silk is going to be about the same
diameter as a 2 weight. I think that is a VERY big advantage when
fishing for rising fish on flat water. It is also going to cast better
because of less wind resistance. I think I'd like to fish a silk line in
the lighter weights but I need my equipment to be as low maintenance as
possible.
