Even as I embark on kegging...

I'd be interested to see your take on the differences between the two. I recently had the financial opportunity to get into kegging (birthday), but after researching it, just couldn't see the cost-benefit. I didn't have a problem with the equipment costs and maintaining a CO2 supply isn't much different than maintaining a corn sugar and bottle cap supply. But when I saw what was involved with regular maintenance of the system and then cleaning/sanitizing the lines, etc. between kegs, I figured that per batch, I would spend more time maintaining a keg system than I would in a 3-4 hour bottling session (10-12 gallons). And since I sanitize the bottles in the dishwasher, apart from rinsing after use, there isn't much maintenance once the beer is in the bottle.

I'm keeping an open mind to kegging though... just decided against it for now.
