I always use lens based auto hemp farms. Assuming that you have a few diamonds (which you typically do by the time you have the steel for an anvil for a block detector). What advantages does this design give you to make up for the lost efficiency?

No diamonds requited.Less FPS drops due to longer break between harvest and it is simple.
I'm personally considering using a simple redstone timer as my only means of control -- sure there's a bit of a productivity hit, but then I can just plant more hemp :).
Plus, this will let me build a 100% automated hemp farm and associated chickens/feathers/wolves/dung all with sub-hibachi-tech. Given that I'm toying with the idea of trying out anarchy multiplayer, a few good and simple low-tech builds might be good to know.
I use a BD instead of a piston in the first position(where the DB is detecting), this way I can hook a DB directly to it and the pistons as well without any extra redstone.
