Yes, everyone is different. I tend to only search for
virtuals if they are on the way somewhere. I think the
only time a virtual was my reason for going out was
because it was a new cache and I didn't want it on my
first page of unfound caches.

Personally, I feel that virtuals shouldn't block
regular caches from being placed. Benchmarks don't, so
why virtuals? Put them in their own category since
many cachers enjoy them.
