I find myself using it more and more. It does give a nice, bright view of the 35mm field. You are right that it takes some time and adjustment to become comfortable with moving your eye between the viewfinder and the BL. And it of course is more difficult when you are shooting at full aperature and the focusing is most critical. But it becomes automatic after a while. I'd used the 21 SA and BL for a long time too.
