After 11 nights, I'm done with my inflatable sleeping pad, back to closed foam?

I did a week and a half through the Smokies with a Big Agnes inflatable. Super comfy night one. By night five I was patching a slow leak near the valve. Night 11 I woke up on bare ground at 3am. My buddy's old closed foam pad never failed, just bulky. I get the comfort tradeoff, but I'm not carrying a repair kit for basic sleep gear. Who else switched back after a bad trip? Is a 20 ounce weight penalty worth not waking up on rocks?
