With PA, you can debug from *your* network - with customer's PI, you
can't (normally) run probes (traceroute, ping) from *their* IP addresses
- and if your PA works, but their PI is filtered, this makes it harder
to debug.

Furthermore, /24s tend to be damped more quickly and for longer times
than /16...
