The labor savings comes when you can use SRT when it is most advantageous to do so, not necessarily 'total SRT tree work'.
I am in and out of SRT and the 1:1 and 2:1 doubled rope methods all day long, often during the same climb, sometimes because it suits the moment, but often just because I can.
Mastry over all three of these rope techniques, with one single device, is definitely our long-term goal. Being stuck permanently in 2:1 DdRT should be viewed as a 'sentence' of sorts, a mild punishment because our predecessors haven't figured out a simple tree positioning device for us. So, here we are doing something about it. I'm quite excited!
