In MA the majority of our games are 2-man. (Three in the MIAA tournament)
I would say about 30% of our board use this mechanic. I like it and think the benefit of being ball side in for post play outweighs the risks of missing something on the "weak" side.
I always tell my partner in pregame that I am going to use this mechanic if I feel I need to get a better look.
A few years ago at an IAABO school this mechanic was really being pushed. Those who didn't use it were dinged on their evaluations pretty consistently.
