@Marth players... Who's making the switch for B-sticking?

I've heard that B-sticking is really good for Marth since he can retreat, hit better, etc. But you have to switch your controls, and I'm not sure if I would want to make the switch. I use the C-stick for most, if not all, of my air combos, and for the fast smashes.

So who's making the switch for B-sticking? Is it really worth it? I heard that you can do it w/o switching, but it's not as good as switching to the b-stick.

I don't think that b-sticking is good for marth because the c-stick is important for quick smashes and aerials. I tried the b-sticking setup for a couple hours, and although i liked the b-moves w/ the backwards momentum, I still missed my c-stick smashes and aerials more. So, I vote NO on the b-stick.

I'm assuming b sticking means moving the b moves to the c stick? The side B of Marth makes Marth pause anyway so you're not really getting any benefit of doing side B with a c stick. Also comboing the side b sounds a bit tedious. I don't see any advantage and I see a lot of disadvantage doing that.

If that's not what it means, nevermind everything I just said :)
