Taking a lift by itself would not be the end of the world, but you tend to converge with lots of other people taking a lift to get to the Arrivals lounge and then leave it. The lounge works well when you have hand luggage and can use the escalator but I do think it is a PITA with more substantial baggage.
Ummm, departures level and Zone R were on the 1st floor, not ground, above arrivals level so you had to take a lift.
In T5 there are two lifts in the orange zone and one in the green zone up to the arrivals level.
