You get a different storyline in return, and the cross-faction scenarios will be unlocked for the opposite faction once the expansion ends.
And that's the whole point. The culmination of the legendary item quest should be available to all regardless of your preferred raid difficulty. It's like saying you could only do Lich King on 25 man Heroic (and finish the epic storyling) because Normal "isn't enough effort", or the first raid that kills Kil'jaeden prevents the rest of the realm from killing him because they didn't "put enough effort" into trying to get Server First.
This is another arbitrary line argument and you can see why it's silly if I place the line as high as some people think LFR is low.
