Buckler vs light shield

[something random]

Aside form the tiny increase in price (12gp) is there any reason someone would use a light shield instead of a buckler?

[Solo]

Shield Bash?

[Bozwevial]

Improved Buckler Defense?

[ninjarabbit]

Shield Bash?

And shield spikes

[Saeomon]

They are a Druid and want to carry something in their off hand.

Someone is trying to set up ideal conditions to "prove" standard sword and board combat is a powerful choice, and Improved Buckler Defense and Animated shields are banned?

[nijineko]

feats which only benefit users of light shields?

what about sliding down stairs while making improbable arrow shots? harder to do that with a buckler than a light shield...

There probably are a few more that a Lt or Hvy shield are needed for but they are rarely if ever used in my experience.
