Using old controls in .net

I have a number of custom controls purchased to use with VB6. What is
the disadvantage of using these in vb.net rather than purchasing the
..net equivalents?

Thanks

They rely on COM and are not pure .NET components.

Using COM components is going to get in the way of doing things like xcopy
deployment since the controls need to be registered.
