Reply to "switch hitting"

I am a switch-hitter. my swing is alot better overall from the left side than it is from the right side. Being true that about 75% of pitchers are right handed, would it be more beneficial for me to stop hitting right handed? I take 50 swings everyday from each side of the plate, but is all that right handed work worth it considering that I only get like 15 right handed AB's a year?

Concerning facing a left handed pitcher from the left side of the plate. Would having a better lefty swing make up for the fact that I wouldnt be able to pick up the ball as well as I would from the right side?
