All discs the same weight or do you vary?

I just started experimenting with different weights. Here are my thoughts so far:
Light discs are great for non-windy days (except tailwinds). They don't require as much power to achieve the same spin as a heavier disc, but they are also more affected by technique flaws.
Medium weight (165-170) discs are good for distance drivers. They can't handle wind quite as well as max weight discs, but you can really put good snap on them.
Max weight discs are great for putters and mids, and you probably want a couple max weight drivers too. They are definitely my choice for strong wind situations.

I get much better carry from my 167 Buzz than my 177 when driving with them. Might be worth trying a lighter mid if you use them off the tee.
