The advantage of EA is that if you get in and the net cost is ok, the school becomes a safety, and you can drop applications to any schools less desirable than it. If you get rejected outright, that might be a clue to re-evaluate your application list and perhaps consider whether you have been overestimating your chances at various schools.

However, you may just get deferred to the regular round.
