I ended up starting over to get a missing Shining sword (must have all shiny!) and I went for a more...secret stat focused playthrough. I'll admit some of the dialogue changed and a few things in Simon's route didnt' take as long...but in the end I agree you shouldn't do a play over ONLY for that reason, as Sierra has said on her blog, the hidden and extra bits are to make it better for completionists, not vital to story progression.
