My sleeping pad debate ended with a foamie instead of an inflatable

I spent two weeks going back and forth between a Therm-a-Rest Z Lite and a Nemo Tensor for a 3 night trip in Shenandoah, and went with the foam pad to avoid worrying about punctures. Turns out it's way more comfortable than I expected on rocky ground, but man, packing it on the outside of my pack is annoying. Has anyone else switched from inflatable to foam and actually stuck with it?
