Do you cut the corners on CE cards?

I love CE. There's just nothing like mint black-bordered cards with the original artwork. I hate, however, those ugly square corners. So I cut them, very carefully, including my Power.
Some people I play with assert that I'm ruining my cards. I disagree. In an opaque sleeve, a well-cut CE is nearly indistinguishable from an Alpha or Beta. It's beautiful--better looking than "real" Unlimited Power in my opinion. Personally, I value a well-cut CE card equal to (or higher) than an uncut one; like altered card art, pimping modifications are extra. (Obviously, a mangled cut lowers the value.)
Do y'all cut your CE?

I only have one card, a Copy Artifact I used in an EDH deck. I left it as-is.

A good friend of mine has a nearly complete set of CE power. He has cut the borders on all of them and they look incredible. People swear it's minty Beta.
If I was ever going to play with proxies, I'd look to do something like that. I think a well cut CE card is awesome. Much more so than a non cut one.
