title: advantages of using sitecore media library vs regular content tree
body: <p>First, let me say that this is not an opinionated question.  There are likely some very tangible and objective reasons why I should use the media library in sitecore rather than placing the items in the content tree.</p>
  
  <p>I am currently working on a solution that likely arrived at storing items in the regular content tree to keep the individual sites separate and query paths easily written for scoping to the correct locations.</p>
  
  <p>That said, if we wanted to make a case for using the media library what objective benefits are there.  Any performance implications, features that you'd miss out on?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
