Stress testing and optimizing SharePoint 2013 shredded storage with traditional and RBS…

Hi there, this was a nice presentation. However, I would like to know what is that all that was demonstrated can be achieved using simple SharePoint lists. Can you suggest a scenario where I would use Access App as opposed to SP List. Even SP Lists can be created and maintained by end users.
Good overview of how Access has been integrated in the last several years especially for those of us still in Version 2003 who may wonder where to jump to in updating existing applications. Thanks for providing it.
