There are basically no pros to it IMO.. All cons..

A few cons are that you need a return pump in the display tank which is unsightly.
You also need to account for the extra water that will flow into the display tank when power is off.
You need some goofy large overhead cabinet or its all going to be seen which negates one of the main points of a sump in that you can hide your equipment under the tank..
And more..
