I've switched to using Ian's knot, and have found it to be both faster to tie and easier to set up. I think once you work out how to 'pick up' the laces in the right way, so that they are already in the correct starting position, it gets a lot faster/simpler to think about.
Of course, I haven't been in your shoes - my laces are all the round type and I haven't tried it with flat ones.

To each their own!
