But I do it only when I need to do some "internal" cutting. I find that my bimetal blades last so long that their high cost is justified.

The bi-metals do last. I have one that I use for straight cuts in steel. Unfortunately, they don't go around corners very well so I use standard hard carbon blades for everything else.
