I've come to the same conclusion. I don't think there's much advantage to ports unless perhaps if you're running a public facing server and need the security updates.
My systems are now a mixture. Funny though, I started both these systems with packages only, but then found the ports sneaking in just because not all programs are available as packages, and because of my fumbling in updating. Even with the very large and complicated KDE which I'm now running, it doesn't seem to matter.
