M2 Buffer?

[cmhardw]

Granted, I'm very slow at M2 because I rarely practice it, but I use DB as my buffer when I do try it (I use commutators for permuting to the M slice, like Mike does). I like the setup moves as having to move pieces to UF. It feels faster and more comfortable to me. So don't joke about DB buffer users, to me it feels more natural ;-)

Have DB and DF as buffer. 4-cycle

But on a side note, do M2 users often check if their buffer is flipped? The only reason I can think of is for safety purposes, so you'd know if you missed a flipped edge in the right position somewhere else on the cube?

I did this for a little while at first, but eventually decided it took too long and was too confusing, and wasn't worth the effort, so I stopped. If I could do it without having to think too much about it, I'd be tempted to, though - it is a nice extra check.
