i'd only recommend bleeding your brakes when changing pads and when you've cooked your fluid, unless you are changing to a new brand/type, in which case you'd do a full flush. You might as well while your changing your pads since you're down there anyways. I don't like the idea of mixing two brake fluids together either. Obviously, if you've boiled the fluid, you want to bleed, but I don't see why you would want to otherwise. I went all weekend at Summit and VIR and never bled while I was there or any time after unless I was doing brake work.
