If you have extra stardust and want to branch out and play with atypical mons (i.e., not Snorlax, Lapras, Dragonite, et al.), then by all means go ahead and power up your Starmie.

That said, from a functional point of view your 100% Starmie won't ever be as good as an average Vaporeon (unless Niantic does some major rebalancing).

Lol. I, too, had a 100% Staryu I evolved yesterday for the same moveset.
