Cisco ACI Multi-Site Vs Multi-Pod Design

Trying to architect a design to plan for the future,

Is there any drawbacks to deploying ACI Multi-Site vs Multi-Pod and for the context, this is in a healthcare environment so redundancy and availability is a very critical component to our design.

We have two locations, 1700 Miles apart, and I can't go into anymore details for privacy reasons. I believe we are currently set to deploy this as a multi pod deployment, but It makes more sense to me at least to do a multi site deployment because of the ability to stretch the fabric and be able to disaster recovery with EMR systems that are VM Based, so Data vMotion is essentially the major basis of this plan (Not sure if Storage based vMotion could span that distance without consistency check errors occurring in the stored data).

Any thought's/Pro's and Con's?
