I don't know, considering you're getting fed information by your insurer that says not to make not-at-fault claims because it will impact your insurance (which is either wrong, or you've got an entirely ####ty insurance company) then I have to question your math on the benefits.
How much did they pay? With average at-fault increases and things like accident forgiveness, how much do you really believed you saved them for your own inconvenience?
I've been on both sides, and I can honestly say I would not have benefitted overall by paying out of pocket at-fault, and (personally) think it's an entirely classless thing to do to ask the person you hit to do you "favour."
