I think some people (I'm one of them) may prefer the left column shift method, and if it yields the same relative results, it may be worth adding at some point.
I like it for the "quick reference" factor. "If I come in with A6, that's normally a 2-1, but because I'm shooting at a Ninja my chances of an X are actually...so maybe I'll come in with A9 instead", rather than actually shifting down when the roll is made.

Would rather not (personally) get into the habit of doing that as a rule of thumb, because I know I'll use it when Ds are meaningful and unintentionally throw the game's balance out of whack.
