Any use a block heater "just for the heck of it?"

I'm quite confident I don't need a block heater to start any of my cars in the coldest Rhode Island winter. But the heater works and the cord is installed on my 240D....so I thought why not? In terms of the heater coming on quicker, any of you notice significant benefits? I know it's easier on the engine and all...my main interest is my cold butt tomorrow morning....it will be 5F.

Thanks.
