pincurl or hot roller?

I can do pincurls, but it takes me only about 15 minutes to set my hair in steam rollers. I know some of you have strong opinions on this topic, so what makes it worth the extra effort to set your hair in pin curls?

Cold sets (pin curls, rag curlers, etc.) last much longer than any hot set--pretty much until the hair becomes wet again. Cold sets also alter the volume and texture of your hair, giving it a thicker/fuller appearance and making it easier to style into vintage looks.
