Pros/Cons of upgrading LM8UU bearings to Igus bearings?

im from a reprap background and if i was to build another printer i was going to use igus plastic bearings for smoother quieter printer. i ended up stopping and just getting a MK3.

im interested if anyone has done the same and also is there was a reason why prusa didn't use them in the kit?
