That's no longer true for Mobipocket. There is no effective limit for image size.
If you use the official Minipocket Creator (as I do), 64K for an image still is the limit. So, right, larger image files really are an advantage of epub. Just waiting for the first eInk color screen ...

Another advantage is the ability to edit Epub directly without having to pull it apart and then recompile it. So if you notice typos or formatting problems, you can correct them yourself.
True, but will an average reader actually open a file or even know how to open an epub file to correct typos? I doubt so. But it is an advantage for sure.
