Should I Learn To Sweep?

hi there.. my first post in this place. (besides introducing myself)
so right now i got a lot of guitar playing, and can play some pretty fast stuff... but, since i learned all by myself, i discovered much later that i use on odd kind of economy picking. whatever im changing strings i keep the same pick movement, and since i also play with a "wrong" hand position, my pick starts to move. Right now im working the nice pentatonic ideas on some lessons, and "fixing" my pick.

Actually, i can sweep too, but i actually dont like the sound that much, prefering (?) much more some alternated pick arpeggios, with more than one note per string. (Paul Gilbert style). So my question is: im losing too much not using the conventional sweeped arpeggios? i believe not, but would like to listen to other people opinions.

thanks, and sorry for the long post.

hi there folks...

after a long search, i finally found a place with nice and really well done guitar lessons.
i´ve been playing guitar for a long time, but never took much lessons. But since i always wanted to learn, im back on the student side . I was looking for some modes lessons, but since im here im going though everything again, so i can reinforce some things. Thanks all for the great site, and im thinking i will stay here for a long time

PS: sorry for my bad english
