Has anyone tried both the balanced and heel/toe stances with the system, and, if so, can you offer pros and cons?

In Carl Childress' second GDS article (http://childress.officiating.com/?d=Working+the+Plate&f=Gerry+Davis+Part+II.pdf), he offers a good reason for going with a balanced stance versus heel-to-toe, having to do with seeing the pitch better with both eyes as it arrives at the plate. He provides a reference (but, I think, no link) to an article regarding "The Monocular Vision Theory."

I've been using the balanced stance exclusively with GD. For me, keeping square to the pitcher seems more natural.
