This is pretty much my view. Atlantic would be a great addition but we already have lots of content to view (currently have 3 series we are going to watch in the new year). All the channels we regularly record from are HD so we aren't missing out in that way. The main reasons I wouldn't leave VM are that I love the TiVo box and I feel I have enough content already.
