And while I feel the patient whistle is the better way to go, I wonder if I'll be able to move up with it.

You've got to go with the flow. If on one at the top levels uses a patient whistle, you'd better not, either. But before you start working on that, you might talk to some of them, or an assignor or evaluator. It may be that you're "not seeing the whole play" before you make a decision!
