I go back and forth but I probably play with it on more often than not. They really did a good job balancing Sebastion's place the in the frame with the letter box (especially when crouched). Without the bars it feels off compositionally the same way that film composition of a 2:35:1 film feels of when the frame is opened up.
Also the lantern can interfere a bit with the letter box off since the direct light shining front and center where it's normally concealed under the bars.
Yeah it definitely felt designed with letterboxing in mind. And honestly, given a lot of the empty verticle space in EW2 it might look a lot nicer with the letterboxing on as well, Im surprised they didnt make the option available from the start.
