There is nothing wrong with a fade. It's much, much easier to control.

However, a draw will gain you considerable distance. (I know this is debateable, but I won't argue, a draw will go farther). With your irons, you stick them better on the green and can move the ball with more confidence, generally. Well, at least I can.

I worked hard - really hard - to get to the draw that I have now. But if my swing goes south with the driver, I can hit the highest, longest draw pulls you've ever seen in your life. Hello 3 wood!

I try and equate it to a baseball bat. Think of seeing that fat one over the middle of the plate and you wanna crank that beatch to left feild. You turn your hips to get open and get that bat into the strike zone faster with your hands just ahead of the ball and follow through. A draw is very similar. Timing is the key. Try playing around with the ball in your stance too. Makes a huge difference.
