Use of 8BITMIME?

When I first started using exim seriously, I decided to use turn this
feature on so that we were "liberal in what we accepted" . The problem
that we are starting to see (recently) is a number of PP machines refusing
"8 bit" mail.

However since exim is 8 bit clean and I have these problems can anyone
give me a good reason for leaving 8BITMIME support in?

Thanks.

(this is with 1.61 and 1.73)
