Upgrading
1) will sometimes make your phone a little faster/more responsive. But only a little.
2) does remove crap software that no one uses
3) will let you utilitize otherwise unused memory, depending on your device (not for titan)
4) will build software programs and tweaks and themes right in, saving you the trouble of doing it yourself. Only meaningful as compared to hard resets (locked up phone) and stock upgrades.
5) will generally fix minor software problems
6) will generally utiltize the latest software (like WM6.1)
7) will let you change splash screens

upgrades
1) will not get you better radio reception
2) will not get you a faster processor
3) will not get you more memory
4) will not get fantasically better battery life, unless your carrier screwed up the power saving option to begin with.
5) will not increase the resolution of your camera

kitchens
1) will let you fully customize your phone
2) are only marginally more difficult than flashing a pre-made rom
3) usually contain newer software than premade roms
4) are addictive. You will need therapy.

I actually have had to stop myself many times from upgrading. At some point, you really have to determine what you are going to REALLY get from it. You nailed it when you said it's very addictive!
