Is there ANY advantage (besides saving some disk space) of using variable bit rate instead?



Other then space, I can think of none.

Is there a circumstance in which VBR could be better than 320?



See above! The main reason I don't like VBR is simple. It's yet one more thing your letting the codec decide. How can it know what you want left in and what you want taken out? So I keep it at 320 and take it out of the equation.

Why don't some people like using VBR?



The question should be, why do some people use it? lol Just kidding on that one!
