running 3 exit nodes with HTTP + HTTPS (niftymouse,niftygerbil and niftyguineapig) on cheap VPSs and can confirm: There are heavily used and meaningful. Even with only HTTP + HTTPS. I got 12 abuse mails ... so you wont get rid of this issue but I will be way less. Please think about using less ports.

They would have allowed me to continue having an exit on ports 80 and 443, but I didn't see that to do much good so I've turned my relay into a middle relay
Why ? And didn't you consider to run an exit w/ minimal # of exit ports (eg. 443 and 6667) and then open step by step few more of those listened hre: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReducedExitPolicy ?
IMO it is not necessary to open all 65535 ports, 1 or 2 dozen are enough to cover a majority of the needs of the users.
