The solution I advocate is owning both! lol
Some days I'm in love with the soft in the hand shoot-ability of the stringfollow, other days it's all about the SMACK of arrows into target when they're being flung outta my 1 3/4 inch of backset Old Tom.

I know they both shoot where you keep them pointed, but I think the backset does me a favor somehow, maybe by dumping the arrow quicker, or hitting the arrow quickly into paradox. I seem to get less noticeable errors in accuracy and I can't tell much of a difference to matter in noise. So, when my form suffers errors the backset seems to still get the arrow off clean.

Having shot both I never developed a strong preference for either believing other factors in the bows construction had a greater influence on shooting qualities . As I backed off in draw weight over the years I did find, at least for to my personal shooting style, that I prefer a the slightly backset bow, making up for some of the difference in the cast, since going to a lighter draw weight .
