EPR vs. N1

Done a search on the Forum, but no joy. Google not very helpful either.

Why do some jet engine manufacturers use EPR, while others use N1 for thrust setting? What are the pros and cons of the two? From what I've read so far, it seems as though EPR is a bit outdated when it comes to modern turboFANS, but still RR insists on using EPR?

Cheers,
Crossunder.
