What are the advantages and disadvantages of bevel gears?

This is what I've already found:

Advantages:

• possibility to change operation angle

Disadvantages:

• must be precisely mounted
• shafts' bearings will be exposed to significant forces
• limited gear ratio < 5

Do you know any other? Especially advantages.
