Do you see much benefit to CloudFlare swallowing half of your requests when you're already using the GAE edge cache?

As far as I can tell, the edge cache doesn't work predictably; it relies solely on standard caching at the Google infrastructure lebel. The Cloudflare caching appears to be more centralized and covers a higher percentage of hits. But, I haven't looked into the effect of relying solely on the edge cache and getting rid of Cloudflare. Can't think of any reason to try, though, since Cloudflare is free.
