I would like to mention that although there is no download required, the download interface is a bit better than the lite version, IMO. Still nice to have the lite option, though, since you can play away from home.
Also, you can collect bonus dollars in tourneys. It's 5 player points per $1 of entry fee. It's a pretty good option for those with smaller bankrolls who prefer tournaments since their rake-based player points requires at least $0.50 rake ($10 pot) for 0.5 player points and $1 rake ($20 pot) for 1 player point. At the $0.25-$0.50 and $0.50-$1 low limits, you'll see a significantly reduced percentage of rakes above $0.50.
Finally, I think it's worth mentioning that in addition to the nightly $10K guaranteed MTT, they have two $500 freerolls every weekday at 9am ET and 4pm ET, so you can get a bit of real money MTT experience at no cost, though I would bet there are probably more gamblers than in a typical MTT (but less than at the Play Money tables). I believe you can do this without making a deposit, although you have to enable your real money account.
