Agreed. I have made the same decision for the same reasons recently.

Sorry, I can't say, I haven't had a gentoo system running here. My
distro path has been limited, beginning with Slackware, from there to
Debian, and now to Arch. As with all Linux systems, sources are readily
available, and recompiles are easily done. Others here will have more
helpful observations comparing Arch and Gentoo, I think.
