Going from DSLR to R... does the lack of a top deck LCD bother you?

I'm still getting used to the lack of top LCD.  Previously I would very commonly review my exposure settings and perhaps fiddle with them if I anticipated it for the next shot.  On my 5D that meant a quick half shutter press (if the camera was asleep) and some knob dialing.

So far I rarely use the back LCD on my R6II so I'll find myself waking the camera up (which is quick, but still takes about a second) and peering at the EVF with the camera at waist level.  But I don't think the process would go any faster using the back screen.  So more often I'll just get my settings dialed in when I'm ready to take the shot, which adds a little time.  I do wish there was a faster way to keep an eye on key settings.
