My bet is that you'll receive more referals from Google, so congratulations on everything you've done. But be careful about number of pages indexed, it's deceptive: I had one site where this number decreased on Google over time (from ~60k to ~4k in about a year) and my number of visitors coming from Google has NOT changed much.
But my site was heavily SEO optimized back then, and still is. I guess somehow Google has decided the other 56k pages aren't even worth to index anymore :p, none was searching for the stuff on these pages and/or the remaining 4k pages from my site were already sufficient to appear on SERPs for a given query.
Factor in that I haven't updated much this particular website in the last 18 months, and my guess is that Google also think these pages aren't worth to index. Which doesn't mean they are not crawled, just that Google (for the speculated reasons above) has decided not to store it and/or show on SERPs.
Ahhhhh, talking about Google... so much guessing...
there's really not that much guessing necessary. Google knows the click through rate of all SERPs, so after a year, if they see that 95% of your pages are never visited, they have no reason to hang on to them.
Because those pages weren't bringing traffic anyways, your stats don't change
