There are advantages using a solid state method. The latency for one. Prevention of interconnections for two... there are others too...
Nice write up, engadget how-tos FTW! We want MOAR MOAR!!!! How about a new engadgethowto site? One new howto everyday or so that would kick some major ass! Hackaday is dead anyway and only links to DIY sites.

signal quality is a good reason to use an electronic switch.
The mechanical method will potentially introduce noise, and for analog signals, that's a bad thing.
