Which is better: B or C?

Ever since I started umpiring, many years ago...I've always had a bit of a problem with the "B" position when there are less than two out.

From my experience, the angle to first and second is much better from the C position than B for both pick-offs at first and steal attempts of second.

Am I the only one that finds the angle better at C??

Yes, it puts you a little further away to make a call at first base but no further than when there is R2 and nobody seems to have a problem when you make a call at first in those situations.
