Um, quoting the part of my mail that you omitted:

   The various latin-x input methods are certainly not good replacements,
   as they're quite a bit more heavyweight and intrusive (my standard
   input method is set to Japanese, and I often use C-x 8 to enter the
   odd accented letter or symbol into english text).

IOW:  C-x 8 is very nice for _occasional_ use; input-methods are too
heavy-weight if you don't use a latin input method as your regular
input method.
