For the most part, it takes me little time to do the cleanup, it keeps my skills sharp for my sideline of ebook formatting and it makes reading the books more enjoyable when I do not have tweak font size, margins, line spacing, etc. to make the book rendering consistent with my wants.

My formatting is similar. I like thinks to be readable without all kinds of wasted space, differing font sizes, embedded fonts that I don't want/like, line space that's not my choice, L/R margins that are too large, Windows and Orphans get turned off, Regular chapter headers at 0.8em above and below. Simulated smallcaps at 0.8333em, proper offset text using 1em T/B an 1.5em L/R, and other assorted changes as needed.
