If you are talking about the UDFB centers, you should definitely ignore those when solving your blocks. But, as the post above says, non-matching centers is a great technique. I personally use it a lot, and it has got me many a good time.I am also sub 30 cfop looking to switch to roux. I was looking at the roux wiki page and it suggests that ignoring centers while solving blocks might be a good idea. Is this really practical? If it is a good idea, I want to learn it now as I am just starting, because it seems like it would be hard to switch to doing that once I am confident with roux.
The wiki page also talks solving two blocks that don't match. How much will being able to create non matching blocks help getting fast times? And would it be a good idea to just do two possibilities for the second block instead of four. It seems like that could make last layer recognition a lot easier.
Solving non-matching blocks, however, is not very common, mainly because look ahead is much more difficult. I will try it every now and then if I see a really easy second block solution, but it usually isn't worth it.
BTW, I think the speed at which you average right now it the perfect time to try out Roux. Go for it! I never regretted it. I switched when I was averaging about 25, and after 2 months with Roux, I was back to my global average, and had gotten my first sub 15, a 12, with Roux. Even if you don't stick with it, the skills you learn are going to help you immensely with any method.
