I can think of a number of times when locking my orientation is beneficial. Auton being the obvious one but any game wherein I have to line up to score while NOT in a safe zone.
If you are using small cylinders for actuation the air use is minimal. Add another tank. To me the benefit of knowing that I physically CANNOT turn under my own power far outweighs the downsides of adding a half pound of air tank.
