But it takes *much* longer to render.  I did a motion-blur vs. field
rendering test on the "World Premiere" scene that comes with LW.  The
motion-blurred rendering (on low) took about 9 hours on my system, and the
field-rendered version only 2-3 hours, but that was with no AA (I think).
The times might have been closer if AA was on for the FR version.

But there's also a difference in how the two versions look when rendered.
Motion-blur makes for (obviously) blurred animations.  FR just takes out
the stuttering look.  For some animations, the blur/smear of MB isn't
preferable.

Good idea!  This, of course, also depends on the final use of the
animation.  Sometimes you may want to keep the CGI look.  But for those
times when you don't, this would be a good fix.
