Class D Technology

So I get the obvious strengths of Class D. Efficiency, power output & running cool which allows for small form factors. I also understand the weaknesses somewhat. 1. Non-linear & lots of distortion that needs to be cleaned up with an output filter. 
So my question is, if it weren't for efficiency & power, would there be any reason to own a Class D amp? Do they beat Class A in any other categories that count for sound quality?

To me the fact that that a number of forums are now being devoted to class D amps indicates the importance and growth of this tech.
I have 3 different class D amps all at different levels of sound quality. with the new Bel-Canto Ref 600 mono's as the newest and most complete.
They really  respond to tuning with power cords! They are green, run cool, but perhaps as important they are much easer to move around. Are they the last word in amps? not yet.. but getting much better day by day.
