Of course there is. You give up control over what happens to your
mail.  I can enforce TLS between hosts as long as I send mail
directly.  I know whether mail is stuck in the queue or whether it
got delivered.  Using an ISPs mailservers requires that their systems
are actually working well and I have enough evidence to doubt that.
