Real back drops vs Chroma key and digital back drops

[mdmedicgod]

Just curious what every ones thoughts are on this topic. I am starting to get more and more "stuff". I just wanted to know every ones thoughts. Which you prefer and why?

Real backdrops are still the best. I use Chroma Key for my events and party pictures.
But lighting in a studio environment in the hopes of larger prints is a pain. You can have a lot of color spill if you are not careful. Blondes and curly hair are a pain. The key to chroma key is LIGHT.

Chroma key is great if you're starting out and don't have much money.

I like chroma's for fanciful stuff, but for portraits and general studio shooting, I prefer standard backdrops.
