Well, I've found that the "bounce back" case usually involves using
information that I know is at mark to do editing at point or vice
versa. Thus C-x 2 C-u SPC, which allows me to refer to related
information nearby without more bouncing (at least for a couple of
changes.
Again, I'm not denying the validity of your statement. Just that I've
found a pattern I like even better, that "just happens" to leave the
behavior of C-x C-x as it currently is.
