Bravo, while the seat of your pants works quite well visually, myself like most instrument pilots has had that tendency beat out of us by our instructors during instrument training. It can get confusing at times. I flew a 300 setup for instrument training and I had the string showing one thing, the ball another and my butt saying they were both wrong. For instrument flying I would use the ball, for no other reason than to keep from moving my head too much due to the potential of spacial disorientation. It is bad enough that most instrument training ship have some of the worst panel setups for instrument flying.
