In prefer it. Just CMD HDG to join and switch over just prior. Makes the entire approach much smoother.

That being said, we shouldn't have to do that but unfortunately it's the best way to track 25 mile intercepts.

Loc service volume is 18nm with 10 degrees either side, and 10nm with 10-35 degrees. The signal is not tested 25 miles out, and should not be used for course guidance.

It's even in the book. "Use the PREV function to capture the ILS course while still using FMS as the active NAV source".
If CA manually flips to green needles 25nm out, well, that's his call. It's just kinda pointless.
Also, in FM1, "APPROACH mode should not be selected until the aircraft is within the ILS service volume (approximately 18 NM of the threshold)".
And yes, I've been to ORD, nothing there prevents you from flying it correctly. Main point being - don't go green 25 miles out. The signal and obstacle clearance is not guaranteed, and it's sort of against the book too.
