"More bottom time...I dive air tables typically but can dive right on their limits since at least 10% of margin is built into the gas."
True, you will get more NDL bottom time with nitrox. I feel it's wasting money if you aren't using the extra BT. If you want added extra safety then ascend slower and do longer safety stops. My .02.
"More awareness at depth / Less narcosis.."
Some people think that nitrox is much more narcotic than air.
