I would rather be able to use the braille display only but this isn't always possible. for instance, there is no double-tap-and-hold equivalent for the braille display as far as I know. Also, sometimes if I lose my place as to where my cursor is, doing a quick arrow with my bluetooth keyboard while having my other hand on the braille display clarifies things. Probably that's because I am not proficient enough to always figure out how to do the arrowing I want to do with the braille display.
