You can always use the regular line when it's empty if you think the odds go up.

I'm not sure we have any idea whether the odds of a random secondary increase with GE over going through the regular line. But given GE takes about 1 minute whereas even a non-line takes 3-5 minutes, I'll take the chance on a 3- 5 minute secondary (I've had one as well).
