Oh I doubt itI’m glad someone else feels the same. I was starting to wonder about myself
- you were very set in your POV that your way makes you look like a “serious and attractive buyer” compared to eg someone like me who speaks to an Estate Agent to see if their client might be open to a small discount in exchange for a fast and easy conveyance - nothing I could or did say would have changed that for you. 
Done business like that for years - not just in conveyancing where buyers always love a cash purchase, especially when there is a large chain - I’ve found cash payments always win hearts and minds when it comes to paying tradesmen too - although these days the birth of online banking and demise of cheques make that no longer a thing..
As you say, neither way is right or wrong - whatever works, works.
I have actually paid over the odds on a property I really wanted too just to ensure a buy in a crowded field.
