Palettes- A pain or pleasure?

I am considering whether I should collect my Mac eyeshadows as individuals or in palettes. So far I am undecided and cannot make my mind up so some feed back would be great help!? 

     I like the idea of palettes because I would be able to have all of my eye shadows at my finger tips and they would be easy to transport. Would they be more expensive though? 

     I like the idea of collecting the individual eye shadows because I just love the look of having each shadow separately and I would love organising them.

So comment below on what you think is best and I'll post my decision when I make it!
