Probably.  Provides all round vision which the boats with headsails don't have, easy vision of the sails without having to look directly overhead and direct steering control rather than turning 3 seperate wheels at the same time.  The halyards are not accessible, but wet ropes in the living area is not my idea of fun.  The trimming strings are not available either, but with an unstayed mast and no headsails, these do not need adjusting very often.  I guess if you are constantly trimming the mainsheet, there are better options than the C50 and 60, but otherwise I agree with you.
