The only thing I have really found is that it is more widely available because it is the older, more traditional method. It also supposedly has more accurate results for genetic disorders. I am researching this too and this is what I've found.
But do your own homework!

What is an alternative to amniocentesis?

How soon in a pregnancy can you take a paternity test?
You can do the paternity test between ten and thirteen weeks, via chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or by amniocentesis between 14 and 20 weeks. CVS is a diagnostic procedure which involves removing some chorionic villi cells from the placenta, at the point where it attaches to the uterine wall. This is done through a long thin needle. It is a similar procedure to a amniocentesis, where amniotic fluid is drawn into a long thin needle placed in the amniotic sac. The CVS procedure collects larger samples and provides faster results than amniocentesis. Results may be received between one to seven days, but many doctors won't do this test for the purpose of paternity due to the risk of miscarriage. CVS the risk is 1 in 100, amnio the risk is 1 in 200 to 1 in 400. Miscarriages can occur because of infection in the uterus, the water breaks or labor is induced prematurely. A paternity test can be done soon after birth, with no fear of complications to the baby - the results may take two weeks to four months and costs $80 to several hundred dollars.
How do you detect down syndrome?
If you test for it in pregnancy the test is called a CVS or an Amniocentesis. They test the amniotic fluid or a piece of the babys' placenta for the third 21st chromosome.

That test will count the chromosomes in the cells of the blood and if there are 3 21st chromosomes that means Down Syndrome

Chorionic Villus Sampling CVS is it dangerous?
It's true that both amniocentesis and CVS slightly increase your risk of miscarriage,though there's no absolute consensus on how much, exactly. (It's not always possible to tell if a miscarriage occurred because of the procedure, or if it would have happened regardless.) Doctors usually give a miscarriage risk of one percent with CVS and half a percent with amnio, butunder a skilled and experienced provider, CVS appears to pose no greater risk.(In terms of miscarriage risk, there's no difference between the transcervcialand transabdominal CVS techniques.) There's also been some concern about limb defects caused by CVS, but these complications only appeared when the procedure was done before week ten. If you have the test in or after week ten, there's no need to worry about this.
