What you mention about building a portfolio and a reputation is valid. However keep in mind that if you ever try to raise rates with clients that you're a little lower on they'll likely balk.
Another thing to keep in mind...if clients aren't willing to pay what you want to make and you know you have value to offer, maybe they're not the clients for you. I understand the need to put food on the table, but some clients like to drain blood from a turnip.
