With pxeboot, I can replace the loader on whim; if I'm pulling stuff in and out using an NFS root I can change the sets of modules and scripts run remotely, etc. When you say "console intervention", do you include the serial console? If so, no problem; if not, then I'd rather have a spinning boot than have to hit a key on the real system console :-). Of course, one of the things I dislike about my current batch of PXE boxes is that if PXE fails, it requires a console keypress to try again without hard booting :-(.
