I think that there is a lot to be said for this. Having moved through quite a few groups over the years I think that the atmosphere is often better in mixed groups. Like a lot of people I still think that you are very lucky with your players, but mixed groups do seem to have less distasteful behaviour and (usually) lower tolerance for dyed in the wool misfits.
