A straight through finder although harder on the neck is alot easier and quicker
when using the two eyed approach. Which is kinda like having a telrad on
one eye and a straight through finder on the other at the same time without
having to chop and change. I guess this is in the end subjective to the user.

I have terrible neck problems... but I still prefer a straight through finder.

Well, as a beginner myself, I find the right angle easier because, 1) I don't have to get down on the floor to look through it and 2) the image is the right way up.

Everyone has their own preference and I guess these may well change as one gets more experienced too.
