I have one. Flying in the evenings is indeed breath-takingly beautiful.
Regarding the increased fatality rate of night flying accidents, I think it is important to do at least 1-2 night flights per year, just to stay in shape. I never understood those, who got this rating and didn't dare to use it at all. In case they accidentally overrun the daytime hours and end up flying NVFR, they will be unprepared for that and completely out of shape...
