That's a pretty good use-case, but I would strongly argue that we should fix the preview deck instead of keeping this feature. It's just incredibly dangerous in practice, especially as the number of decks increases and you forget if you're playing deck 2 or 4. Or you load into deck 2 instead of sampler 2.
Basically, I'm about to submit a pull request removing it, and I'm not convinced losing rapid previewing outweighs the safety benefit. On Sun, 2014-07-06 at 20:58 -0700, Sean M. Pappalardo - D.J.
