For projects involving more than just a few people, or more than one organization, the downsides of having a spreadsheet based risk register are the problems of versioning and being able to cross-updating the register.
For most projects, a web based risk register such as http://mediumrisk.com is a much better solution than a spreadsheet based risk register. The advantages of having online access to an up-to-date risk register with action tracking and full audit trail will always make up for the small cost of using an online web service.
