One main disadvantage would be the media stream will pass through asterisk ( no reinvites like sip->sip ) but its not a problem if client pc'a and your asterisk server are on same network .Sip->iax conversion takes less cpu but it will be more if codec transcoding is involved .

Just wondering if there is much CPU overhead in the translation from<br>IAX2 to SIP, and how taxing this function is as compared to<br>transcoding.<br><br>We're trying to build an efficient system and would like to avoid<br>
taxing the CPU as much as possible. Our upstream service provider is<br>100% SIP, however we'd like to use IAX2 in our network as well, if it<br>does not cause too much overhead.<br><br>Not sure if it matters, but we will be running aprox 100 simultaneous calls.
