By my understanding, "heads only" is most often an economic choice-- it
is simply less expensive (and, if I am ever able to afford *anything*,
probably the *only* thing I could afford!).  Also, if I understand
correctly, cloning has always been how people who use the neuro option
have expected to have new bodies grown-- unless they desire to be
uploaded to a computer(s).  There may be other options (I, for one, would
like to have an *improved* body-- one with more energy and less fat,
better eyesight and hearing, etc.!), it is hard to tell at this point,
although technology which can repair damage done by suspension should be
fairly powerful.  At this point in time, the primary concern is finding a
way to reach that point.

I hope this helps.
