I had MailScanner installed and it worked great. I switched to
Amavis-new because I was afraid the authors of postfix would stop
support for MailScanner. Amavis-new has the same results as far as I
can tell.

I agree with your conclusions. Greylisting and a tight postfix set up
has my Spamassassin mostly idle. In fact, I have eliminated bayes from
spamassassin because I do not get enough spam to train it well. I do
use rulesdujour in spammassissn to get most of the few who make it through.
