What is a bigger penalty, pinning or scoring on the middle row?

Obviously the title of this thread was meant to be slightly humorous, but I think one of the more interesting aspects of the game this year lies in what I am dubbing "The Line of Sight Penalty". I found the game design quite diabolical by the fact that when you score on the middle row, you are actually assessing yourself quite a disadvantage by eliminating a clear line of sight through the field. This can carry quite a problem, especially for those teams who are looking to deploy the minibot in the final 10 seconds of the match.

My question to you is this...would you purposely score away from the middle row in order to keep a clear line of sight for your drivers for the most important part of the game?

I'm very curious to see how people will deal with this.

Good luck to everyone this season!
