Well, usually you pay a hell of a lot to get cash with
a credit-card. Even if you have no additional charge
for foreign-currencies (except sub-optimal exchange-rates).
You pay less (and thus have more money to spend in
the dealers den) if you get a bit more then enough cash
beforehand and simple deposit it in the hotel-safe.
Then take whatever is left over home to transfer it back.
(When traveling you never know where you may need
some cash in an emergency.)

Oh, right, forgot about that exchange rate thing *facepaws*  Then again, I normally hit up the traveller's cheques thing
