wondering the reasons to choose defrecord vs reify in stuartsierra/component

Hi guys,
I'm just wondering the pros/contras that justify to choose defrecord vs reify as component fn constructor.

in the component README we can read
"To create a component, define a Clojure record that implements the Lifecycle protocol."

Yes I know that "defrecord creates an immutable persistent map which implements a protocol." but I think that the same thing can be achieved with reify (BTW: "om" way to define component) over a persistent map...

Do you think there are more reasons to set defrecord as default base fn for components?

Thanks in advance
Juan
