A battery tends to have a higher effective series resistance, and a little hysteresis and dropping voltage with loss of charge that has to be designed around. So just putting a battery as a supply with no considerations, could impact dynamics.
If you put in some regulation circuitry with something to make sure the rail doesn't droop with fast or deep current draws, there shouldn't be a giant difference. But ... you are building a power supply to handle the battery, and they have their own issues. In some cases it might be easier to design a quiet power supply (Sutherland seems to be moving in this direction)
Nothing is free, it's all tradeoffs!
