If you've downloaded a Ubuntu CD and a Kubuntu CD, you can easily switch desktops via "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" or "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" later and reuse many or all of the same packages (no additional downloads). It also means that downloading the Kubuntu disc when you already have Ubuntu will be quite speedy, and you never have to re-insert a disc to get the previously downloaded packages from. A couple of notes - Jigdo is also available in a GTK+ GUI interface. Also, is not capable of generating a 'Desktop'-style Ubuntu ISO - only 'alternative' and 'server' discs.
