That's not really feasible interface-wise: the current solver bounces back and forth between the Rosenbrock steps and Newton steps. Note that when Newton iteration is attempted basically for as long as it improves the situation. In other words, there would be no way of continuing if you were just using just Newton iteration. How many variables are you playing with? We're recomputing the NxN Hessian for every Newton step. that might be expensive with lots of variables.
