The advantage of Oyster cards is that they (the machinery that they interact with) actually tell you at the end how much the tube/train journey has cost. My contactless doesn't. There is something slightly unsettling about not knowing how much has been extracted from one's account.
Yes - a fair point. If I was in London regularly I'm sure I would use the Oyster card but when you are just popping in and out it helps avoid the queue. Or as in Highgate when I normally get a bus, it's just easier

Get a sound clip of the oyster machine beeping and just play it and hold your phone up to it. Then tell the driver it beeped didn't it?
he'll let you on.
