You might be right. However, having earned my early crust flying a 7,000 kg aircraft without any navaids fitted other than a single VOR/DME (H.M. didn't even provide a heading bug on the CDI), these days I personally like to take full advantage of whatever the system provides and I routinely dial up whatever is available. Unfortunately, the UK is becoming forever less well provided for in this respect than it was forty odd years ago. Same with radar coverage.
