Advantages:

-No radios required
-Send multiple data streams of data across all units fitted with CTS
-Automatic syncing system keeping trains practical despite facing direction
-Optional MU system
-Universal principle operation through different revisions
-24hr support
-Specific operating codes meaning your train can operate with your trains only
-Compatible with my builds later than Class 450
-Integrated multiple master/slave conflict prevention measures
-No master/slave channel setup needed
-1 or 2 cab operation compatibility
-Detailed tooltips underlining CTS in operation
-Completely hack and jam proof from workshop jammers since no radios are used
-Optimised 'Part 1' single microcontroller design reducing internal tick delays
-Audio and Visual smart switchers (Part 2 and Part 3 respectively)
-Lockable switch design means its impossible to have more than 1 driver in command (recommended for passenger trains)
-Multi layered design meaning you can have more than 1 CTS unit per unit (useful for having guard role on trains)

Disadvantages:

-Minor tick delay that gets more intense the more units connected
-Lengthy and complex setup and installation
-CTS incompatible with foreign master/slave systems
-CTS has stricter requirements for operation
-CTS modifications require extensive brain use
-Part 4 controllers requires manual creation
-Part 4 has conditions in place for secure design
