If your mainstack has more than one card, yes, that's a good option.

But in the last seven years I haven't written an app in which the 
mainStack has more than one card; I tend to factor out data from the UI, 
and even factor out the UI from the mainStack used for the application.

But the beauty of Transcript is that it provides many ways to solve a 
given problem, allowing you to pick the one whose nuance best fits the 
specifics of the problem at hand.
