The breaks are nice. I enjoy solo gaming because I can move at my own pace, and I can mess around with strategy, set-up, etc without feeling like I'm wasting anyone's time. With face-to-face gaming, especially if it's multiplayer, you tend to feel a responsibility to not be the guy who's unprepared and wasting everyone's time, given how difficult it is to get multiple people together for several hours of gaming with all the different obligations of kids, wives, work, et al.
However, I've been fortunate that those concerns usually end up totally unfounded (though I still have them at the start of each new game, of course) with my current game group, where nobody ever complains about somebody not knowing the rules or time wasting or anything like that. It's a very social group, and everyone is very laid back. We all realize we're there to drink and socialize as much as game, but it's well balanced, so we usually accomplish our gaming objectives. Because I've also been at the opposite end of that spectrum, where the drinking and socializing starts to dominate, and suddenly you're herding cats to get people to pay attention to what's happening on the board.
