The biggest advantage of citizenship versus residency may go to the attorneys.

A "citizenship lawyer" is likely to charge at least (and this figure is several years old) six thousand, five hundred dollars.

An "immigration attorney" might be lucky to get twenty to twenty-five percent of that amount.

Pretty sure citizenship grants you mercosud rights. Don't think residency does this.

However a lawyer is not required for either process.

If you don't plan on living in another Mercosur country what would be the advantage?

Well, in the past couple years I got the impression form one "citizenship lawyer" that a lawyer is required if you don't have a DNI.

If that is the case, then I'd say he has a case.

I still wonder if it's true.

Para solicitar la ciudadanía argentina no es necesario contar con un abogado ni gestor.

As the question was citizenship vs. residency, prob safe to assume we're talking about a case where the person can get residency, and thus would not pay an order of magnitude more to skip that step.
Or has residency already, and asking regarding moving up to citizenship. In which case the requirements are fairly straightforward and a lawyer should not be needed.
