Are gas giants really an advantage?

Gas giants have more room, but the advantage is offest by the fact that there tend to be fewer gas giants than rocks.

I'm in a PBW game (Diplowar 2) where all eight players chose gas giant races. It certainly made things interesting.... There were two distinct land grabs: one at the start (when borders were pretty well defined), and the other when everyone developed/traded for Rock and Ice about at the same time.
