I have a bunch of bottles in my keezer and no room for my keg yet. I have a duel regulator; one goes into the keezer and has a manifold for beer on tap, the second regulator is on the outside for carbing soda in 2L bottles (it's outside to make it easier). When i used Beer Smith it said to force carb @ 70deg F the PSI should be 25. Is there any disadvantage of carbing at room temp?
 
I used to do that, and found it more difficult to dial-in the proper amount of carbonation; but that's nothing that can't be overcome by some trial and error and liberal use of the pressure relief valve.
 
You use more CO2 when its's room temp, and if you serve at room temp there is more foaming. Other than that, no concerns.
