Agreed and understood. However, you're only dealing with 60' bases, as well. That means if you get to the circle as a PU, you've got a great shot at getting wherever you need to.
I rarely go on a fly as a BU in two-person system. (Maybe once or twice a year!) Really, it probably should only be with two-out and nobody on and a trouble ball or potential homerun (down the line, especially).
