I'd be interested, because I don't know of any such reasons -- I've
gradually switched just about all my COM clients to
    from win32com.client.gencache import EnsureDispatch as Dispatch

    from win32com.client import Dispatch
so if there ARE counterindications I didn't notice I'd really
like being informed about them!-)
