I do like this package as it extends standard Emacs, and lessen the number of keys to pin point the completion candidate. If more completions are visible at a time depends of average length of candidates. My completion candidates may be very long, longer than 80 or 100 chars. Personally I do not have need for up/down arrows. I tell you this to learn from different viewpoints.
