I think its also interesting that I see ithis totally the other way around. BTW, I don't mean to challenge your view at all, but for me its reversed.

Saying this I will always abseil, if the anchors are good, even though I don't like the first bit - were you trust everything to 'the system' and lean back. I'm lazy and impatient so the abseil is the go, I like the fact that in this instance gravity is working FOR me.
