Ah, now you come clean!  Yes, it does feel neater to me too;
but I doubt that would be sufficient justification by itself.
It took both factors to make it worth it to me.  The real reason was:
1) Neater
2) Definitely not slower
3) Maybe a tiny bit faster
Conclusion: do it.
I'm with Hugh on this, the justification seems pretty weak.
