Reason to return to watercooling?

Flying to start college (oh dear) in a few days. Figured I'd need to bleed the system now, wouldn't want the collant to freeze in the plane's cargo compartment. Then I'd have to refill once I got there, and I don't think i'll have much time those first few days of college orientation to mess around

So I bought a Coolermaster HSF (and a nice cheap anodized aluminum heatsink for the NB). Popped them in, everything's fine, a bit warmer obviously...

except without all the WC clutter. Noise levels are low enough that I can't tell the different before and after. Case is a good bit lighter, too.

I'm looking for legitimate reasons here. Sure WC'ing is badass, chock full of bragging rights, and fun, but is it really worth the effort to reassemble everything once school settles down?

And I had so many more good ideas, too
