I'm with you. Straight through finderscope with both eyes open.
But I have a beauty. An erect image straight through with illuminated crosshairs - bought from Japan. See my post in this thread:-

When I can, I use a laser pointer on the scope which usually gets me directly into my widefield eyepiece, bypassing the finderscope.
ps. I'm now a "lazy" user of an Argo Navis so I don't have to look through the finderscope as much as I used to.
