Icarus, there are a few reasons to get the NVFR anyway. One of them is that it is perpetual, and although there are recency requirements, the rating itself doesn't lapse like an instrument rating.
So if one was to go into instructing (for which an instrument or night rating is a prerequisite) and unsure about the amount of instrument or night flying one would do, a NVFR would be a guarantee that there would be no sudden end to the instructor priviledges due to a lapsing instrument rating..
