The only pitfalls I am aware of are:
1. Hosting - if you go external costs will be higher.
2. Dates (if you are outside of the US) sometimes you may have issues with legacy apps.
3. Licencing - If you go above the "free" number of connections (see the licencing agreement as they change all the time.
If these are do not deter you the benefits are HUGE , i.e Triggers, Stored Procedures, Functions, XML, Data Transformation, SQLMail, Schedulers, and the new Report services. And a really scallable platform.
You get what you pay for.
