To each his own, but I'm very fast using my method and like it a lot.
My set-up, using Finale 2014 under Windows 8.1, is very similar to this, except that the MIDI keyboard is four-octave with octave transposition from -2 to +2, so eight octaves covered at an occasional inconvenience. I use chord entry and explode music frequently in composition and pre-set time value followed by one note per MIDI key depression in transcription for running eighths and sixteenths etc. I find chord entry less convenient in F2014 than it was in F2004, because I have yet to find the setting that allows me to do it into the staff of a single note instrument, so at present I am composing into a keyboard double staff system which I later delete.
