Indeed. I find AG batch to actually be easier in several ways than full boil extract batches. AG may take longer, but I can fill a lot of the dead time with other activities. I still do the occasional extract, but those are usually partial boils on the stove top for something to throw in a bucket when time is tight. Still good beer.

Personally, I'd say don't bother. Already you probably have your eye trained to know when is when. Certainly in a batch or two more you'll be dialed into your equipment. I made one up for similar reasons and never did have the need to use it....
