Hardware/software secureIDs - pros and cons.

Hello,
What are the pros and cons for using hardware RSA SecureID/Other and software with the same characteristics?

For example:
http://www.rsa.com/node.aspx?id=1313

Let's say there's a company that allow only customers using the hardware SecureID to connect its resources -
What might be the main arguments the company has to prefer the hardware and not the software?
From the customer's point of view it's better to have software installed (management, holding of multiple tokens, user usage etc)

Kind Regards,
Elad Shapira ("Zest")
