Open or Closed back headphones in the field

Hi all,

Which type of headphones do you prefer in the field?  I currently use
[and am used to] closed back ones from studio work and generally feel
that it gives you a better idea of what you have.  But sometimes in
the field I find myself really wanting to know where a sound is
ACTUALLY coming from so I can adjust things quickly .  I figure open
backed phones will be better for this.

What does everyone think about this?

I figured this was a nice innocuous subject that no one can claim
divine righteousness over....but I guess we shall see:)

Danny
