Same experience here, the last frame is almost always compromised. Add to this you need to be very careful with dust and emulsion bits that may get into the light brush and scratch the film. Also had once problems with faulty DX contacts on reusable cartridges that ruined several exposures.
But the main reason I gave up to bulk roll film is price. Have a look at B&H: the price difference per 135 film roll between prepack roll and bulk roll is so thin it's not worth the hassle.
