Is there any reason we don't use 4069s instead of 4049s as clock buffers in BBD based projects?

It costs the same if not less and takes up 2 pins worth less of space on a PCB layout, not a huge amount but sometimes space saving counts.

Also it seems like it draws a bit less current, is it just not as good as driving as the 4049?
