In doing so you get the benefit of sealing off the filler from any further moisture or contamination, and can work with a chemical bond on the next round of primer. Im sorry, but the above quote really is bad information. Ive read in multiple places by different manufactures that epoxy over filler is fine, epoxy as a sealer is fine.
As far as I can tell no one recommend epoxy as a replacement for urethane, as an alternative yes. There are some epoxies that can be used to build and block. Depending on the situation epoxy only could be the way to go. If you have a surface that is close to flat and are willing to work with the benefits and draw backs of doing so then it will be a much more durable job in the end by leaving urethane off of it and using epoxy only.
