I can certainly understand there are people who like fast-create (especially if they play the same game often), so I'm not saying it's a bad idea.
I personally would never use it because I usually play games with a friend whom I need to manually invite anyway. As for the times when I create a public table, I'm very careful about the turn speed and other game settings, so even if I used fast-create I'd need to click "View" and adjust the settings anyway (which defies the purpose of fast-create). So, since I never use fast-create, the extra button just clutters my interface. I also prefer the original height of the tables.
Ctrl + click seems like the perfect solution actually.
