I have studded tires on one of my vehicles. The downside is that there is some added road noise. There is a slight advantage on black ice like on a highway when you can start to feel your car get a little bit "loose". The studs seem to bite in a little bit more.
That being said, I'm not sure that I'd be in a rush to go studded on my next set. You'll get the biggest advantage by getting some good, winter rubber. The studs are just a little bit of icing on the cake, but side by side with my non-studded vehicle, it isn't a massive difference.
