I think like you that receiving gives you a better chane to settle down and see what your opponents have in their tank!!!!

I'm also lucky to be a lefty and know I can work this somewhat in my favor given sun, etc. But I strongly disagree with Brad's advice that one should elect to receive. That's a concept for pros, but my feeling for recreational players is that it's best to be ahead on the score. While pros break infrequently, recreational players break often, and so with that in mind, when push comes to shove, I want my opponent serving at 3-4. So I always elect to serve first.
