HO 249 is quicker with fewer steps so fewer opportunities to make an error than HO 211. If you want to use a tabular method like HO 211 then I suggest you try Weems or Dreisenstok, they are easier to use than Ageton. See the comparison of the different methods in these prior posts:

I've reviewed the Ageton method using HO 211 and it seems very agreeable in procedure and usage. Also, having a smaller
amount of necessary pages to refer to and carry around is attractive.
What are the drawbacks to using HO 211 (Ageton's method) in determing a fix compared to using HO 249 for sight reductions?
