my situation is different. I'm an architect so my site has relatively few pages and I'll only be adding a few new pages a year. I'll almost never be removing old pages at least not until I think that I'm showing too many projects in which case I'd do some editing. What I'm doing right now is renaming pages (to be more search engine friendly) but leaving the content the same.
I've found that probably 90% of my site visitors are coming from google image searches. It took a long time for my images to get indexed (~6 months) and if I simply remove my old url's I'm going to lose 90% of my site traffic until the renamed pages/images get indexed.
