Right now I am converting all my inline styles to an external

What true benefit do I get by adding these to as css page vs. leaving
them inline?
For styles used only on one page, the benefits of moving loads of them
to an external stylesheet are near zero.
However, there's an alternative that may make life/maintenance easier
for static pages, and that is to move all one-page styles into a
style-element in the page head. Usually much easier to keep track of
them that way, and if you see repetitions of a style in several pages
you can later decide when it's something to gain by moving them to the
external stylesheet.
I use this approach extensively, since mine is a static site.
