Valid Point: High-Ranked execs use it and usually try to translate everything into excel sheets. They would really appreciate seeing excel sheets in presentations.

Invalid point: Formulae are easy to follow and audience can easily verify/reproduce your work.

My friend, excel rocks when MAKING a spreadsheet, but it can be hellishly annoying to follow. when you got a long chain of formulae cells, it is very annoying to trace the data through it to see where it is coming form. Sure, a properly labelled Sheet takes care of it, but that's not usually the case. That's the main reason i am very excited about that excel-sheet visualization tool posted here the other day.
