Dot & Dab or battens & plasterboard over parge coat

[SimonD]

It's been suggested to me to dot & dab the plasterboard over Gyproc Soundcoat plus parge coat where I'd planned battens with service void. How might I regret dot & dab versus battens as dot & dab is going to be both cheaper and quicker. Anybody else able to share some pros and cons?

These are brick walls with a small infill extension having used dense blocks

Dot and dab quick and easy unless you need to cut channels in the dense blocks for cables or pipes. Then the service void with battens would be handy
