You guys wouldn't believe how much information I lose when I bounce to disk! The difference is night and day. Now I realize that I am going from hi-res to low-res but I really don't believe I should get such drastic differences in my mix.

But, the real reason I avoid the bounce to disk is because of the way Pro Tools handles it's bounces. I don't remember the specifics from the article I read (which was in a magazine I also can't remember, go figure) but basically it's design has a tendency to create lots of errors in the process. The recommendation was to buss your mix to two tracks internally and work from there. I'll try to search for the article online. I think it was in the magazine "Music Computers" or something. This was a few years ago. I'm still on PT 7.4, which is what they were referring to, I believe.
