Default Advantages to Table Feature in Excel 2007?

I have a question that I have never had to deal with as an Office 2000-2007
Trainer at my company. One of our departments needs to know how to use the
various Excel 2007 features. One thing on their list is the Excel 2007 Table
feature.

1) It seems like an interesting option that automates many of Excel's
features. I typically do not use the Table feature and teach how to do the
various options without using the Table option.
This upcoming training has me thinking. Should I just teach the Table option
and not worry about the students understanding many of the underlining
automated features like naming the table, calculations using the =subtotal
functions, various formatting?
What are the advantages and/or disadvantages to the Table feature for a
basic Excel user? Does it automate too much?
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
