My client seems to think he'd like some maps that are done in AI10 masked using Clipping Masks in AI and then placed as AI files in ID2.

Is there any advantage at all to using Clipping Masks in AI versus simply masking them in ID2 by reducing the size of the image frame?

Either way the AI file is still going to be the same size (MB size that is).

TIA for feedback.
