Default Polyester/vinyl ester kits?

So, I get that epoxy resins are "stronger", but I can't help but wonder what are the drawbacks of cheap-o polyester fuselages/molded parts? For example the old Byron stuff that still hangs around. Sure, it's got some bonding and gluing issues, but beyond that, what makes it such an anathema for kits? Does it really fatigue that quick?
