Do it without a doubt (looks like you are doing anyway, top man). Don't look on it as a get out of jail card though. Use it regularly, stay in practise. I use mine whenever possible, there's nothing like climbing through the muck into a clear blue sky and brilliant cloudscape instead of scud running in the murk with the other mortals.
Edit: This of course supposes you have an instrument let down available at the other end!
