Personally, I'd rather run a scan of all TCP ports once a 
month or once in two months than a restricted scan once a week.



Considering the scan took 40+ hours to do, I would be careful with the
timeout and level of 'aggresiveness' on the scan. We wouldn't want to
flood the network and unwillingly cause DOS to servers. 

/me shudders at the thought of all those IPs running Appletalk in some
convoluted parallel universe :P
