No, it isn't. If you wish to support IE 6 or 7, chrome or safari on windows XP - which is a huge, enormous section of the browser population - then you cannot use SNI. Trying to say otherwise just because YOU only use firefox is what is misleading. More to the point, show me one major commercial deployment actually using SNI. The OP also indicated that he had already purchased his certificates, thus precluding wildcard domains. It is much cheaper (by far!) to get an additional IP than it is to purchase a new wildcard certificate. So, yes, very clever to note SNI, however it is not a reliable solution for ~40% of users on the internet.
