Hi,
Well yes, your suggestion makes sense, but on the other hand it is
convenient to detect if the user is logged in or not just by using
if ($this->getUser()){}
or in templates:
[{ if $oxcmp_user }]
For your isBigCustomer() case I can at least suggest to save one if and
do something like:
if ($user && $user->isBigCustomer()) {
//do smthing
}
Regards
