The reason I advise the 301's is that once the pages are not online anymore,. they will still be ranking in the search engines,. the 301's make sure that the searcher still ends up on a real page in stead of a lousy 404 page.
Perhaps in Google it can go relatively fast (but can still take months with 1000+ pages), but other search engines are way slower. If you add it all up,. it is quite a lot of visitors that you would be missing.
