Unless there are apps you use regularly that cost a lot of money and you don't want to pay for them again.

Do you regularly buy apps that cost hundreds of dollars? A vast majority of apps are within the $1-$5 range. We're talking about buying phones that are well into the high hundreds to thousands of dollars. That's a drop in the purchase and operating cost of the device.
