This is a very good point. I've often stuggled with the ergonomics of my straight through finder when using the C6 on it's Nexstar mount. I've always used it "both eyes open", as you can train your brain to overlay the crosshair on the sky directly. Yeah, I have enough light pollution that the black cross is quite visible against the sky. This is just how I used to aim when shooting with a red dot scope.
I'm hoping to get a RACI finder one day, to save my neck from the pain. Your point makes it appear this may be "one step forward, one step back". Perhaps a RACI AND a red dot would be ideal?
