Importing to DreamWidth

lethargic_manThe last few times LiveJournal have changed things, I've been giving serious consideration to moving to DreamWidth; and this time I might actually do it (particularly as my yearly paid time at LiveJournal is coming up for renewal soon).
However, a quick goosey-goosey at DreamWidth shows that a free account on DW provides most of the functionality of a paid account on LiveJournal; and DW charge almost twice the amount for a paid account that LiveJournal do. Whilst I'd be willing to pay to help DW succeed, I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay twice the price for the benefit of (a) being able to have as many icons on DW as on LJ (though this would be a necessity to import my blog from LJ without losing all of the iconage), and (b) being able to post polls. There's other functionality available for paid accounts, but nothing which I would gain any advantage from, in terms of what I use my blog for.
Can any of the DWers amongst you give me better reasons to part with my cash and get a paid account at DW?
