I wouldn't be surprised if you find yourself with a much greater facility for memorization. The only caveat is that it takes longer to get to the point where you can "play through" a piece, which feels less efficient than learning by sheet music, but I find that my ability to interpret and make phrasing choices with memorized music is much greater than it is with music I'm reading.
