Just wondering what the advantages are and if it's worth it. Thanks!

No.
The main reason is that you can access all your workouts. Instead, I just logout, then search for my username. Voila, I can see all my workouts... |

| That only works if you don't have your workouts marked private - so remember to uncheck that box. |

| No. I really don't see the value in using Motionbased at all anyway. For over a month, I uploaded all my runs to GTC, Motion Based, and SportTracks. Except for elevation profiles, I haven't found any features in MB (that I care about) that aren't easier to get to or done just as well or better in GTC or SportTracks. I've stopped using MB unless I want an elevation profile. I will probably stop uploading to GTC soon - I'm liking SportTracks more the more I use it. |

| I haven't seen one. They say you have these customized reports and analysis, but I have a hard seeing the $95/year value in that, especially when this site does all that for free and with no ads. |

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Definitely looks like there's no compelling reason to upgrade, esp when this site does everything I need when it comes to reporting.
One MB question: any way to export data in excel/CSV format? If there is, I missed it. (They export in GPX, HST, and CRS). I know you can do CSV from the Garmin Training Center, but I really need the elevation correction that MB Gravity does.
My everyday route is an out-and-back. If elevation is accurate, the profile would be symmetrical, like this corrected one shown below from yesterday's run:
I don't have an uncorrected one, but trust me, it wasn't very close to being symmetrical due to elevation error, so I count on the correction that MB applies to the data. |
