Hi Eddie,
Slow day today, this is my third post.
I am an absolute reader.......and IMHO the perfect result is being technically correct and having a feeling for whatever you are playing. Both styles certainly have advantages and to combine both would be the ideal. Most non-readers I know want to play everything in C,(My brother drives his car in the key of C) and some music is better served when played in a different key. Some will say you can use the transpose button, but that is not the question, but it may expand this topic. In the meantime, to do what ever you can to the best of your ability, I suppose, is all anyone can ask
