The usual reasons are that you want to be able to test operation with
your hardware before you clobber the existing install, and you want to
be sure you'll have quick rescue access to your files when the installed
version refuses to boot.
Does this require a specific server spin or is the current
live cd enough?
With fedora you always have the question of how wildly different the CD
kernel is from the one you would be running with current updates.
Firewire and nvidia users will understand this from experience. I'd
expect CentOS to be considerably better about this. The apps omitted to
make it fit on one CD probably aren't that important since you can't
please everyone anyway.
