The boat holds its course a little better in surfing or crosswind conditions with the skeg down. I like the design, appearance, feel and performance of the boat generally. As far as I'm concerned, that ends the question. Any further "debate" strikes me as largely academic and based more on various preconceptions about skegs and rudders, than on realistic and practical issues.
