This is a geeky group - who needs a _reason_?
I have this going at home - WEP and IPSec, just because I can (and it
was a fun exercise building a Linux box to do so). Fortunately (?) I
don't get guests needing to use wireless that often. In theory I could
just issue any guests a certificate (assuming they have Win2k+ or some
other certificate-supporting IPSec stack).
Besides, if IPSec is secure enough to keep intruders out on the
Internet, where anyone in the world can hit your network, then it's
certainly secure enough for WiFi, where intruders at least need some
semblance of physical proximity.
