I agree that you should master one thing, though I don't think many teams use shifters just for their pushing power. If you have a second speed, it allows you to gear your for a higher speed. This means that you are more effective at solving the game task. In addition however, it also allows you to be able to win many of the pushing matches you will face in eliminations. In my opinion, the shifter allows you to be a more effective scorer.
