Cryonics requires you to be kept cold in an uninterrupted fashion until you are revived, whereas plastination would allow for cheap and easy storage in a basement. There’s the disadvantage that the hardware becomes useless, but it doesn’t look like even modern technology is far from making that a moot point.
