Anton, I don't see it as all or nothing. I don't use mine often, but I enjoy the fact that I have the option when the situation dictates. I only have one winder, and have thought about getting another one at some point.
I have five LXen and there have been a couple of times I would have liked to have a winder on a couple of them at the same time. It was more for convience than a need for speed. I rarely shoot in continuous mode. It is one of the beauties of the LX, compact when it needs to be, winder and motor drives available, and not to mention the different focusing screens... I would keep at least one if I were you. I can possibly take one off your hands :-) There may be times when you would find it convenient. But you need to define your needs and shooting style to really answer if the winders are for you.
