It does increase the chance that the beer will live to see the summer instead of being consumed in a Spring of weakness.

15 gallon ported brew pots are not only great for brewing, but they come in quite handy during a broken water main. Fill it. Boil it. Use it.
For those who don't have a 15 gallon ported kettle, you now have a selling point for your SWMBO.
69 gallons for me in 2013 (excluding ciders, including 3 gallons of a second running)! I didn't brew at all during the summer months this year. Because I'm a nerd here's my spreadsheet.
I got a 500ml graduated cylinder that is much to big for homebrewing. Took it too the neighborhood brewery and gave it to the brewmaster in exchange for several beers.
