Using ID SRConstants.ASPECT_STEREOTYPE_ID poor practice.
A) Models must retain the ID across model implementations which means that if you are using MagicDraw/Came versus Sparx or IBM, you may not have the same ID.
B) Loss of context provided by the canonical path. If we are only using an element ID, how do I tell the user it is missing and more importantly 'what' is missing?

Yes, there is less code (a little faster too, but efficiency is can be attained by lookup of an ID only once), but no useful errors when things go wrong.
