The disadvantage is that you can only be in online mode on Steam on one computer at a time, so if, say, I wanted to run two different leagues on two computers at the same time through my Steam install I'd have to be in offline mode on one to be able to do it (in theory, as I said in my last post, I haven't actually tested).

You can install the game on as many computers as you like, with or without Steam. You can only have it licensed on 2 at any given time.
Years ago, way way back, we used to get 3 licenses and I had 4 computers in my house. I installed the game on all 4. It was only licensed on 3 at any given time. If I wanted to use that computer, I unlicensed another and activated there.
Maybe a bit of extra work, but it's not like I was doing it all the time.
