Any advantage to using Profile2 module vs. custom user account fields? I'm trying to decide if I should bother messing with the Profile2 module. I need my users to have information like a real name stored and made available for other uses, but I'm not sure if there is an advantage to using the Profile2 module, or if I should just create custom user account fields for whatever I need.
The Profile2 module is only good if you need more then 1 type of profiles.
For example: 
         - a student profile, with certain fields.
         - a teacher profile, with different fields.

If you don't need different types, just stick with the custom user account fields.

Hope this helps!
