I am only scared of the heat dissipation and the life of regulator. As you mentioned the heat dissipation will be higher. The cost is the important factor and also reliability of the design has to be taken into consideration, adding switching regulator to the board will make the electronic expensive, but reliable. I have updated the question with thermal data of the part. | |
