Default To boost octane or not to boost octane..that is the question.

Okay, seems like everyone has the same question regarding the need to boost octane above 94 pump gas. Outside 11:1 compression it seems like there is a real need to assure even burn but what about the vast majority of us that are inside 11:1? Does it really cause the engine to run cooler, steadier, and just all around better? I'm running 10.5:1 and tried 104+ and noticed no difference at all (as a matter of fact the car had a harder time starting with the o-boost). What do you guys think? Personally, I'm not looking for a text book answer here..more real life experiences (but then again who am I to limit discussion!).
