Default Induction vs. Universal motor

Recently, Sears has been emphasizing that their lighter duty air
compressors have universal motors. Is this a good thing? I've read that
UMC motors allow extension cord use, provide higher startup torque and
are lighter in weight. But, does all that come at the cost of long-term
durability vs. an induction type motor?
