Funny, I still find it the other way around.  With a stereo pair, I can
find two reference points that stand out, and simply 'work' my eyes until
these points overlap.  With SIRDS, often there is no reference point at
all, or a pair of dots which are out of the plane of the final stereo
image, and you're not sure you're "getting it" until the image actually
pops out.

The point about the separation being much less is well-taken, though.

Still it seems that SIRDS ought to be a good starting point for free-viewing
stereo pairs.
