Based on my experience with mine, I would say that the real, but extremely minor, degradation of detail and added noise is completely worth the absolute transformation of your system's low end capability.
Reworded: You would be trading an amount of detail that you could concievablely not even notice is missing for the difference in bass performance between your mains (bookshelf/monitor, right?) and your subwoofer. Odds are this difference is HUGE.
It was a no brainer for me, but to each his own.
