Actually the difference is cost.  I can buy a pound of dry chick 
peas for less than a dollar and when cooked I have my large crock pot 
full.  I can buy a 10-1/2 oz can of cooked chickpeas for around $1.29 
 When weighing the two options for making a meal for a large group, I 
would prefer to go with dry just for pure cost effectiveness.
