I think I see another difference with using toned paper. The white paper sketches tend to look more flat. Looking at the toned coffee shop, the rounded pillar being the barista and the coffee cup on your table, are more dimensional due to the white and black showing more contrast of sun and shadow. Do you notice a difference in that way?
That's such a great point. I like to think white paper sketches leave the 3rd dimension to the imagination. Since drawing on toned paper, I have certainly noticed the extra time I need for the added dimensionality. They take ~2x the time of white paper sketches!
I think most of us love buying new stationary.. and the stash usually has a sketchbook or three.. in addition to the reasons you have listed, using one of them(from the stash) creates an opportunity to go out and buy a new one guilt-free :D
