If you use active sync and outlook, is there any reason to backup the pim and restore it?

Despite having the ability to sync with my computer, I generally backup all my data and restore the relevant parts from that backup when upgrading my ROM simply because I don't trust the sync process. In particular, the WMDC in Vista isn't as flexible in how it resolves conflicts, and there've been enough freaked-out posts on here about the synchronization syncing whichever device was empty to the other device, wiping everything. While that's never happened to me, I decided not to take risks.
Besides, since I upgrade from the memory card instead of USB, by backing up my data on the phone I can do the full ROM upgrade process and put my data and settings back without being near my computer.
