This is a nontrivial cost. I’m considering it myself, and am noticing that I’m a bit put off, given that some of my (loyal and reflective) readers/commenters are people who don’t like LW, and it feels premature to drag them here until I can promise them a better environment. Plus, it adds an extra barrier (creating an account) to commenting, which might frequently lead to no outside comments at all.
A lighter-weight version of this (for now), might be just linking to discussion on LW, without disabling blog comments.

Would you use the LW comments section if it was embeddable, like Disqus is?
