Sure. It was just a sample of worked well for me on those flights I did. If I expect conditions to get worse I would simply switch to manual MC and adjust MC to a "reasonable" value, i.e. the lift I expect in the future (and not some arbitrary low value). And for moutain flying, like max said, MC is not applicable anyway.
