The first limit of Fescue sod is that it really shouldn't be installed in the northern states, or anywhere that gets an actual winter. Since I live in San Diego, I can install pretty much anything. If you live north of Kansas however, you definitely shouldn't really be thinking about Fescue sod. If you do, your lawn will start to turn yellow and worse when the weather starts getting colder. It most likely won't die, but your yard will definitely not look so nice for half of the year in cold states. Fescue sod also does best in areas of high sunlight. Most grasses don't like shade, but this is especially true with Fescue. If you want it to thrive, keep it in the sunlight.
Since I ran a landscaping business for a few years, I can tell you that there are two types of lawn owners out there. People who like long stems of grass, and people who like short, well-kept grass. Most of the residential lawns you see are made of fescue. It's a very decent type of grass and grows very quickly in both cold as well as relatively warm climates.
Fescue grass on the other hand, loves to be short. When mowing it, you should keep it between half an inch and an inch. It loves warm and tropical climates and does very well in the heat of summer. Fescue grass will yellow and even brown when the sustained air temperature drops below around 55 degrees. If you're a resident of a region that's warm all year round, places like Arizona, Texas, Florida, parts of California, and more, and if you like grass that's short and easy to manage, then you might want to consider Fescue sod as a good option.
