Hard Drive is full - Original Music Files vs. Back-up Files

I always knew it would come to this, so here goes. Even though I picked up a 250G external hard drive, I have it filled up with music files (flac's and shn's). I convert everything to WAV's and make cd's for listening... then dump the WAV's. I also have been compiling everything on dvd's to backup everything (flac's & shn's). I have some material I will want to continue to share, so I will leave them on the hard drive for now. But, there is a bunch of stuff I don't need to access for a while. My question: Are the backup files just as good as the original files I pulled from here (and elsewhere).

Of course, I have been running TLH on the incoming files. I am working hard to make sure everything is lossless in the first place (no MP3). So, is there any good reason NOT to open up all that space on the hard drive? I can always import those files from the backup dvd at a later date, right?
