I have never taken methadone (surprisingly, but I wasn’t a H user so I had no contacts in that scene) but from what I understand, it is much more potent and as mentioned above is a full agonist. The great thing about Suboxone is that it allows tons of control over your dose. When you get to the lowest doses you can use the liquid method or the strips. I really do not see any reason to use methadone if you have been using Suboxone successfully. Furthermore, you are most likely going to come into contact with people who are not trying to get off when you cop, so that is a whole other issue.

I have heard some people who get off of Sub and want to get high "one last time" when off of Sub. This obviously doesn’t work out very well. I think Methadone can provide this. No offense, but you said you "feel great"… well of course you do. You just took a full agonist opiate.

This doesn’t seem like a good idea, at the very least it is providing your subconscious self with a "reminder" of what full agonists feel like. Not the best way to go into you first days completely opiate free.
