@XanthraX - Your post has a lot of merit as I tend to opt for a clean install from time to time. I tend to clean install to get rid of any redundant files left behind from uninstalled programs or such over a time period. Most users prefer incremental updates over full updates purely because of the time factor. Possibly not realizing the benefits of a clean pristine install. I adopted the regime of a clean install many versions ago with Chameleon as the Boot Loader running Snow Leopard. So in conclusion, I whole heartedly agree that a clean install has greater benefits than an incremental one. Whereas the time factor is the only mitigating argument, but I dare say many would argue it is not necessary to clean install if the system is running trouble free.
