Daytime running lights - needed?

I've just bought a new Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI estate. Should I use the (non bi-xenon) daytime running lights or not (they are a menu option)? Pros and cons please?

Use them. Means drivers are less likely to pull out of side roads in front of you, particularly in the countryside.
