I reacted the same way when I added a D800 to a D7000. I was used to the D7000's U1/U2. Had a hard time to find out this banks are not meant as a "safe harbour" - but then something changed and I thought 4+4 banks actually offer a lot more options than 2 U settings.
The D7100 and D750 I bought later and I never took the time to set up their U-positions properly. Still, it's very quick with the wheel, but it's much more flexible when I don't have to save a new setting. I can save all settings to a card, but I rarely do so. I changed my opinion about U1/2 vs banks. If I ever needed a DX DSLR-body, I'd opt for a D500. Two different usage concepts are not helpful.
