Don't know if my company is what you called a "tiddler", but we are certainly one who still uses QFE. We may conform in due course, but it's an old debate, it was going before I started flying and continues now I've retired. I took part in the RAF's brief flirtation with QNH and its return to QFE and have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter much as long as you are clear about the difference!

On another point, when we have one altimeter set to 1013 (29.92) the other one is set to QNH for terrain clearance reasons.
