Two points:
First,
Unless you don't like having airfield elevation showing when you land 'cos you've lost all the bugs on the outside rim of the alti?
Beware tunnel vision, Catain S - many of us don't have any of those things to start with.

Second point, as I've said in other discussions, I don't know why so many people get so excited about which is "best". In the RAF I have often taken off from home base using QFE, flown the route on SPS and landed somewhere like Nairobi, or the USA, on QNH. There's quite a good argument to be made that such practice makes you very very careful about what you are doing. Which is good.
