And don't forget that SR also applies to friendly spells, meaning if you want your cleric to be able to heal you, you'll likely want to take a standard action to drop your SR. Not very much fun while in the middle of a battle.

SR is a blessing and a curse when you've got spellcasting allies.

Could be a real issue at low-mid levels where you might depend on a Wand of CLW during combat. And then you have the headaches of what happens when you fall unconscious...

If you're unconcious, you can't drop your SR, meaning they'd better roll well, or use the Heal skill to stabilize you. At higher levels, when your spellcasters have taken Spell Penetration (and maybe GSP) it isn't as bad, but it can still ruin your day.
