I completely agree.

I would do the opposite. We took the VistaDome train to MP and the HB back. I much preferred being able to take advantage of the open bar on the way back to Cusco where I was going to sleep for the night. I wouldn't have wanted to have any drinks on the way to MP, as we had some light hiking planned for our first day. We saw the sights on the way, so it was not an issue to travel back to Cusco at night.
