inode density for Oracle filesystems

Is there any real benefit in using sparse inodes on a filesystem for Oracle datafiles?

We originally had a system with few inodes because there would only be a few, large Oracle datafiles. However this has also rendered the free space left useless as a handy place to put a load of very static file archives. I'm tempted to rebuild the filesystem with more inodes.

Any reason why not? (This is UFS on Solaris)

Thanks for any info
- Bill
