Eddie,

You're right, and that was the intent when I first went with the headset. But, as vocal dynamics play a big part in my style of singing, I didn't like the trade-off of my left hand leaving the keyboard to keep adjusting the mic. When I see other singers on TV do that (like Michael Jackson on his anniversary special), it distracts me. But to your point, I can see how it would be much more comfortable with the headset. As for the boom mic situation, mine is the 50's style replica mic that Shure puts out. That's what I meant by looks. I also position it in such a way as not to block my mouth or this ugly 'puss' from my audience.
