Another down side of Barbituates is there low therapeutic index. That is, the difference between a therapeutic dose of a barbituate and a lethal dose is small. Benzos have a very high therapeutic index. If you take 60 times your normal dose of a benzo you'll probably survive, not so with a Barbituate.
