If a product has some 'benefits', it follows that is will have some drawbacks (possibly). I need to find a word that is not seen as a negative such as 'drawbacks' but it must not have a particularly negative meaning.

Currently the document that I have to rewrite has 'benefits' and 'disbenefits' as a title and this to me is not very good English.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean peak and trough?

It's quite hard to talk about the opposite of a noun. A child may say the opposite of an ocean wave is a desert sand dune.
