I have friends who consider "the point" to be the most important part of the experience. To them, it doesn't matter that my Springer produces more birds.
On the other hand, I find the typical "point, relocate, point,...." to be tedious compared to the spaniel's" slash & dash, drive into the scent cone & send a pissed off rooster into the air" technique.
I also enjoy the kind of shot presented by a flushing dog, it's much more rewarding. I've made the effort over the years to become a pretty good shotgunner so a pointed rooster flushing at my feet isn't much more challenging than shooting one from a tree. A covey of quail or a ruffed grouse is a different story of course, that's where a pointing dog is in his element.
It's all a totally individual preference of course; I don't expect I'll never get my pointing dog friends to see things my way. In fact, they claim that when I get older & my knees & reflexes give out, I'll become one of them.
