Fire is a good enough reason, especially in areas with less sophisticated Search and Rescue capabilities. The Antares can handle the extra burden, but remember that the cost of a liferaft includes regular maintenance and recertification.

A good bit of thought should also go into your ditch kit, which is equally important. Read a few survival stories for ideas.
