Nope. I reject on bad SPF. Should there be a FP, it's the admin of the
sender domain who must fix it. So it's always a win for you :-)

postgrey has an extra whitelist shipped with it, for the few sites who
have problems with it. If used alone, greylisting is reported to reduce
the SPAM rate by 80%. Very effective, very simple to use. I recommend
it.
Some admins don't use it because their users "can't wait the initial
delay to receive an e-mail". I educate my users, so for me that's no
argument *g*
