For me its great for some of our popular parks. I make a rez and know I have a site. Before I had to go to the park, and with some of our popular parks I am talking about going at 2AM and wait with the others who have already started to gather, someone would make a list of the order the folks pulled in and give it to the office when they opened. The office would give us a list of folks who have not re-upped their site yet.
Then we would walk around with that list and pick out like 5-6 sites that you would be interested in. Maybe the person would at that site might stay another day..maybe not..maybe the folks ahead of me waiting wanted that site, maybe not. It was a total crapshoot and lots of times folks left because there was nothing available. So there is nothing like wasting a lot of time to maybe get a site.
At some of our larger parks I can get in without a rez that day so I save the 8 bucks.
You will just need to change the way you camp with the new system. It makes it fair for other folks to get into these places and enjoy it as well. So your stay another day or 2 on a whim is over.
We would do the same as you if the weather was iffy, get the site for one day and see, if it turned out nice we re-upped for the day if not we left.
