What's wrong with SES? (Not a rhetorical question. I've played around with it and it seems ok, so looking to hear about downsides.)

Many of their IPs have been blacklisted by spammers.

When I last tried to use them for marketing purposes with paying clients, it was really hit and miss.

Also if your sending that amount of emails, you want your own IP. Maybe even two IPs, One for transactional and one for marketing.

SES allows you to purchase dedicated IPs
