By pressing on the center button you get the same functionality as the cube without having to move your mouse to the cube. It rotates and then zooms with the center button. I can spin any model and get to the view I need in less than 1 sec - it is just practice. If you plan on using SolidWorks, buy a mouse with a center button!
In fairness, Inventor has the same functionality (pretty much any CAD/CAM program I've seen uses the center button in the same manner).
