There's pros and cons of each, it depends on what you want to achieve.
a good quality render will last years what ever your using if done right. A badly applied render will crack, fade, shrink etc it's learning to apply it bearing in mind those factors.
if your comparing a sand cement render with a scratch mono render your not comparing like for like. If your happy with the look of a sand cement render fine, and yep it's cheaper but if your then going to paint it with masonry paint, it's a pointless exercise as you'll need to keep,painting every few years.
a mono render won't crack or fade if it's done right and sealed, and will never need painting and can be sprayed , thus saving ball ache lugging up scaffold, plus never having any sand issues., but a mono applied badly looks terrible. There's other options instead of mono against sand cement, ie acrylic, silicone or lightweight mineral renders.
