I completely agree with the general preference of stable, pre-built
packages over experimental, self-compiled versions.

But on the point of specialized setup I'd be careful. A too high
(internal) specialization of demo points can be harmful in many ways I
think:

a) the lack of a common basis makes it harder to let several people
present stuff on multiple machines ("I'm going to show you something else
... oops ... X is appearantly not installed here. I'll have to spend a
minute to get the some done with Y which I'm not familiar with.")

b) it's less visitor friendly due to a reduced flexibility. If there's a
line of people blocking one machine you can't just drag some of them over
to another machine which is currently available.

Harri.
