Let's just say you have an interesting take on improved technology. E/W requires 2 separate antenna/LNB setups so while it's nice to have that option in the trees, it requires additional hardware and setup time. The locals thing only works if you have a mobile account. The 211/Wally series receivers only do auto setup if you buy an antenna designed specifically for Dish use ONLY limiting your future options.
It's all about choices (not necessarily technology). Your choices appear to be exactly right for you.
Switching my portable tripod mounted DISH 1000.4 dish setup from eastern to western arc or vice versa adds about 2 minutes to my setup time. Two small screws and swap two coax connections for my Hopper w/Sling setup...
DISH also switches locals with a 5 minute chat session or Facebook messaging session.
And the 211/Wally receivers work fine with the Winegard Carryout G3 that's DISH, DTV, and Bell compatible.
