I'm the opposite. I always use the arm-strap regardless what brand I'm using. It doesn't have to be tight, but it makes the detector more of an extension of my arm instead of something I'm holding in my hand. I can see why you would feel a difference though, the E-Trac was soo front heavy that it would pull the cuff up to your arm. The CTX is much better balanced and would probably wobble is you only used your hand.
I actually think the angle is weird with the Etrac and the strap. I still have the strap on mine but I rest my arm on top of it rather than in the cuff.
