I originally started learning dvorak because I was getting cramps in my hands from typing. Learning dvorak solved that. I run dvorak at home and qwerty at work, and I think switching between them helps out my hands and fingers even more. The only downside is when I first start to type something I sometimes type gibberish until I realize I'm on a different layout. For example, I originally type "G " instead of "I " when I started typing this. As far as I can tell I'm equally fast in either layout. If a friend comes over and needs to use the computer I can click on an icon in the taskbar and they are good to go.
I decided to stay with qwerty at work because I want a colleague to be able to work on my system, and switching keyboard layouts multiple times per day only causes me to type gibberish more often. And as you say, there is value in standardization.
