There's no reason you can't get the exact same result using exception handling as you're doing now using conditional logic. Handling invalid data is right in line with what exceptions are all about. I'm not trying to get you to change what you're doing, which seems to work well enough, just to point out that exception handling isn't as limited as you imply.
