scenes vs. cue

I'm tiring to figure out is there any advantages to using scenes instead of building a cue list . in an ambient party type lighting situation. were there might be a room look,dinner look ,movie look and then some flash n' trash for a minute then back to a room look.
This stems from an embarrassing moment during tech were i had all my looks set a hour before show and my boss decided to show his lighting ability's through me.and as we were editing colors on some leds they would not edit and save.So I believe it was the infamous tracking and not being able to pin point the cue or just a glitch.Because back at the shop it edited just fine.
So my question is what are the pros and cons of scenes vs. cues ,and are scenes the same as record/state in cues. And would it be practical to build a show in a bunch of scenes.
thanks for your time

    1- IPCB can also be done on cuelists as of several SW builds ago
    2 - Using a Virtual Cuelist also has some advantages over a Scene if it is something that needs to be released rather than "stomped". Cuelists have the option "add release end cue" which will allow you to "toggle" a cueliust on and off with out eating up two spaces on the screen. As a rule of thumb I tend to use scenes for things that get "stomped" like Colour on the fly which you would typically "stomp" with another scene to change. Scenes are also good places to store "looks" that you don't want to have clutter up a cuelist or palette directory.

    Hope this helps:)
