Hi Alex
I think either are fine, Yours is probably easier for users to understand.
The problem with using the view is that its hard to see the exact point 
you are at.
The cursor is somthing you can place and know where it is in relation to 
faces-
The view is okay if you looking at the faces from a distance, but no 
good if you want to do it radially.  since there is no way to- Place the 
View in the centre (C and . Del  - dound count since your still looking 
at the faces from a distance.)

So I say mine is more flexible and the outcome is easuer to controle, 
also easier to code.
