It seems to me that the high speed vibration is this tools big advantage, and

use the lower speeds for anything useful?

If all you ever cut is wood of similar density, using the same type of
blade, don't mind heating up the blade unnecessarily and shortening
it's life, and don't have any really detailed things to cut, then a
single speed is just fine.

None of the above applies to me, so I have a variable speed unit.
