Those are all significant advantages. I never thought of using that.

Are you saying that there is an advantage to locking regions when testing alignment, so as not to be taken to the beginning each time? Suppose I chose a midpoint of one the tracks against which to align. Could I lock that region and keep nudging the second track, using only that region for playback?

I think I understand. Now, I have to try out your wonderful tips.
