I think the chicks dig the cash cause it seems more like spendable money...

The difference is that you have a document that has been run through a federal institution that backs up your model release. It is another document that the model has signed and you know the bank also varified the model's ID. The check states her real name and will have her ID info written on it and will be dated the day of the shoot to further prove the date of production. A model can easily come back at you and say that you forced her to sign the release but never really paid her for the shoot if you pay cash. The signing and cashing of the check shows proof of the conclusion of the deal as set forth in the model release.
Besides these factors that cover your ass...Checks are much easier to track than cash and that makes myself and my accountant very happy.
