I think the debate is more Logographic vs. Alphabet, rather than Logographic vs. the Latin Alphabet.

There are pros and cons. A big con with Alphabets is that words lose their meaning over times. I find reading Old English (1500 years old) to be less comprehensible than "modern" Latin, despite being a native english speaker, and only knowing a little latin.

I find reading even Early Modern English (400 years old) an effort initially before I get reacquainted with it (Shakespeare).

In 300 years time I hate to think what English speakers will think of our texts.

That said, if I had to choose another language to learn, it would be one with an Alphabet, which seems far easier to me to learn, and type, than memorizing 1000s of symbols.
