If I reconvert, I want my new settings to be used 99.999% of the time. I find it very weird to change my settings, reconvert a book, and discover that it has absolutely no effect. It usually makes me think I've got it wrong, and I need to change some other settings to achieve the desired effect. For me at least, this is completely counter-intuitive.
The best solution would of course be to have a tweak so you can select which of the two behaviours you want...
