See it, shoot it.
If it facilitates that, then it's golden. If it impedes that, it might be a little darker shade of brown.
I think that if one takes a pause and thinks about the "see it" part, then the context of how it is you want to see things comes in to play.
By that, I mean are you wanting to see things in the "rangefinder" way, that is classic of street shooting. If so, evaluate things in that context, pay little mind to the options / issues when not shooting through the RF mode.
OTOH, if you are a detail junkie wanting to see things with critical XYZ, then evaluate things wrt to how if facilitates your ability to see things in that mode.
I wonder if folks are inclined to be thinking about the issues of one mode, and cross-applying to the application of the other mode.
Then, of course, the "shoot it" part follows. Having the option for how one "sees", may very well be just that ... an option. So, where folks have a preference regarding their favorite way of seeing, doesn't necessarily mean it's time to toss the baby out with the bathwater regarding how the other option plays. Then again, it may allow one to realize, that seeing things that way is of little consideration to them.
So, while it might be "no gain" in one department (for some), that doesn't always make it a "loss" in the other one.
