Pros....

Rapid growth = more invasion troops (esp. if playing IS)
Generally wider hab range = more planets.
Greater disposable resources = while other races strive to make factories you just breed - in other words you build ships not factories.

Cons...
As mentioned... lower production per planet (balanced out by more planets?)
Death comes quickly to those with little space - a small high producer can whoop a large -F if the -F has no-where left to go.
Harder to defend - less production + larger empire means better defenses required before a fight begins.

All the cons that anyone can ever list for a -F can be offset by playing an IT-F. These guys should never let the pop on any planet go above 25%. This way the resources for the whole empire will grow exponentially until they run out of room to put people.

But the fact remains... a -F will be strong until the end game, at which point they better have a strong foothold and alot of momentum.
