I rarely use a matched set, few complete ones as it is and the hunt and peck method has never failed me long or short term.

I have always managed to make fairly short work of it with enough options on hand at any given time, it ain't rocket surgery but it does help to have some experience, the right mindset and plenty of options on hand.
