BTW, I don't really have a preference for using baffles or not. I don't fly low-power enough to really consider whether I should include baffles in my rockets.
But, while designing and testing a kit (which may make it to market some day) we decided to include a baffle. We were already planning to use a coupler in the rocket, so turning it into a baffle with a couple of plates won't add much cost to the kit. And the baffle will keep the parachute and rest of the recovery system higher up the rocket so not as much nose weight will be required to ensure stability.
