When I am contesting, I want to do things as quickly as possible.
So, based on what I am doing and experiencing in the shack, I have
chosen to not use Alt 1, 2. Also, since I really don't twiddle around
much (if at all) with presets I, II while contesting, it is far faster
to use I and II instead of Alt 1 and Alt 2.
Am I doing something wrong in how I access Alt 1 and 2?
No, it does take a tiny bit longer as you describe. The advantage is
that you always get the same setup, whereas with I/II you get whatever
state you last left the 'preset' (I or II) in.
If you can keep from twisting knobs and just switch between I and II
then it is faster and easier to use them.
Personally, I find that I often make adjustments by turning the knobs
and then I am surprised at the state that I left the preset in. So I
like the ALT1-NORM-ALT2 system.
Maybe for the next contest I will try to train myself to leave the knobs
alone and use I/II.
