On most recient Vaios the Pros are:
   Nothing
The Cons are:
    APM is mutually exclusive with acpi
    You need acpi in order to get all the periferals to work
    If you enable acpi, it will disable apm
    if you don't enable acpi, sound, nic, mouse, firewire, usb,
           are all subject to flaky operation or no operation.

So the short answer is most often, its a waste of time...
