One issue with embedded fonts in epubs, I find, is that many readers don't display them very attractively. Comparing against an iPad, Apple's font rendering blows away every eink reader I've ever seen. Unfortunately, iBooks is a little too simple as a reading app for my taste (and of course, there is the whole LCD vs eink thing).
I have an iPad and I disagree about Apple's font rendering being the best. Kobo's font rendering is also very good. My H2O renders very well. The one thing LCD is better at is some fonts that are too light on eInk but work on LCD. Some fonts don't work well on LCD or eInk and Adobe Garamond Pro is one of those fonts that get embedded that don't work well on LCD or eInk.
