THREE.js - Differences between BufferGeometry vs merged geometry?

I understand that BufferGeometry is computationally more efficient. I also understand that a merged geometry is efficient because it makes 1 render call. Also I believe a merged geometry is easier to create/implement (for novices like me).

What other major and minor differences are there?

First of all, merging geometry and buffergeometry can be used together.

Buffergeometry is memory efficient way of describing a model. A merged (Buffer)Geometry on the other hand is a way to make several similar models to be drawn at the same time. This has the problem that moving 1 model inside the the merged geometry is more intensive. So this is normaaly used on static objects.
