I know what you mean...it kind of makes the fancy new technology obsolete. On the other hand, I did start to get frustrated having to constantly scroll through all 51 points, and recently found myself using AF11 anyway, because it's a touch faster.
I'll use 51 for macro and detail work, because it's good to have such a wide choice, and fast focus isn't that important, but like I said, I haven't tested the new method properly, so we shall see...
