That'd be my preference too. My only worry is
situations like finding an

which means it can't be put away with its machine, which in turn means
it sits around for years or worse still gets chucked as being useless.
(In reality I'd end up posting a photo here if I didn't know what it
was, and I wouldn't leave it on the side in the first place - but not
all people are me :-)
Power leads/cords are generally pretty generic. I don't bother worrying
to keep a power cord with the system it came with. Again, only if it
matters (i.e. it's way funky/proprietary).
