I think this is essentially a religious debate. For me, I am
already oriented by my charts, flight planning, plates, airport

Having two computerized displays is one way to resolve this issue. My
EX500 MFD is set north-up for situational awareness and consistency
with mapping conventions. The 430 GPS is in generally in nav1 mode
with all the quantitative navigational numbers (CDI, track,
track-error). For a tactical traffic/weather scan, a brief visit to
graphical nav2 with track-up is enough.
