What are the benefits of a print portfolio vs a digital one

Every editor I know still says that the print is the final product of photography, and Ive heard most have them mumble something like If I see one more iPad portfolio, Im gonna throttle someone Electronic images and the internet are convenient, but to some, they are not beautiful. They are not organic, and you cant touch and hold them and put them on your shelf because you love the cool little Chinese puzzle box that unfolds like a treasure on your shelf. Just make sure that your prints are up to exhibition standards.
Nevertheless, if youre under a deadline, have to get a portfolio out, and dont have time to make prints, dont let stop you run over with an iPad. Just get it out there.
