What are the advatages and disadvantages of overhead camshaft?

Advantages- usually more power due to straighter intake runners(no pushrod ports to obstruct -shape/airflow) and higher rpm limit due to lighter valvetrain, easier to run multiple valves for more airflow
Disadvantages-increased cost$$$, physical size of the engine increases due to valvetrain on top of cylinderheads than being contained in the block when compared to a pushrod motor, need more speciality tools to work on/more training to work on
