I would think the main problem here is judging when to recover, if you hold it in until you have the right picture and then recover you could find the recovery has taken you to low which would be VERY embarassing. The advantage with the other methods of losing height (Orbits, "S" turns, sideslipping, fishtailing) is that it is much easier to judge the right point to recover to a normal glide.
