Is there a compelling reason to stick with TiVo?

I'll start by saying I've been a TiVo subscriber since October 2000. For most of that time I would've said you can have my TiVo when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. But times and technology change.

I'm currently running 2 TiVo HD machines, one with lifetime service (which I've had since 10/7/2000, transferred from an original TiVo to a Series 2 then to an HD along the way), and frankly I'm wondering if there is any reason to stick with TiVo and upgrade to the Bolt. I watch more and more on demand via Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Comcast's on-demand service (with comcast being my last resort). The Netflix interface on the TiVo HD is horrible at best and I never use it, opting instead to use the app on my Vizio TV. And Amazon Prime isn't even a possibility on the TiVo HD unless I'm missing something.

So, any reason to stick with TiVo given about a 2/3 to 1/3 split streaming to DVRed cable? Comcast's Xfinity X1 sucks, but for the amount of usage either of my TiVos gets any more I'm really wondering if it's worth sticking with it.
