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
