Points taken..... there is a time and place for different modes for different situations. My technique is not for everyone. I prefer to say when, where, how fast and how much at times, rather than let the A/C automation dictate flight parameters to me.

I must disagree with letting your aircraft wander thru the sky with large V/S variations. Most certainly at higher altitudes where a trade off of acceptable airspeed loss is permissible.
