iTunes match - Eliminates need for local storage?

[theGAPkid]

So I want to become a subscriber of iTunes match. I was just wandering how other use the service... On my iPhone for example, I have unlimited data meaning streaming isn't a problem. Do many people use iTunes match as an outright replacement for local storage, or do you combine the 2 - having your favourites downloaded to the device and you stream when necessary.

Just interested in how others get the most out of the service...

Since subscribing to iTunes Match I don't store any music locally on any device. I also have my complete collection in Google Play as a backup though. iTunes Match has always worked perfectly for me too. I think if you subscribe you will not regret it, the only part that is a little irritating is when if fails to match music that is in the store that were ripped from CD.
