I have tried going without an indicator. I found that I was concentrating so hard to keep the count, I was not paying attention to other detail which were normally second nature. I went back to the indicator halfway through the game.
An indicator is a tool of the trade and I can see no reason an umpire shouldn't use every available tool to which they have access.

I agree. I have gone games without using an indicator, and found much the same. I use one and seldom find the need to check it.
