Why would I want to go through the hassle of getting a new passport?
To echo a previous poster, the multi entry, multi year visas in the existing one are reason enough. A bit more atypical but I've also had to hunt through the passport to find entry stamps when exiting to prove length of stay (or lack of overstay) when the entry point didn't actually run me through the computer. Either of those could require me to carry 2 (or 3 or more) passports so I'd rather just keep the fat and ugly one I have...though is does start to look odd as the inserts stick out farther and farther with each new one as they are added in the center.
