I voted early. Picked a day that was convenient for me, so I would not have to worry about being able to make time the day of. What possible benefit do you have for not voting early?

Also the earlier someone votes gives them the chance (time) to rectify anything that may find has gone 'wrong' with their registration instead of finding out on election day. Avoiding delay in challenges at the polls on Nov 6th, time running out etc... etc... not feeling like your 'up against the wall' to open up yourself to any suppression tricks by the right wing etc... etc...

on edit: another good post on this subject ...
