So I set one U for my basic bbf settings.

I gave up using U's for everyday shooting. Too confusing for me to remember if I saved a change to U or saved it to the body or maybe I didn't save it at all. There was always something showing up disappearing because I saved or didn't save. Now for bbf. For a time, I did exactly what you plan to try. It was big failure for me. As muscle memory developed, I missed too many shots because my fingers got confused on how I was focusing. So I'm fully in for bbf all the time. I never use shutter button anymore. I took me a year to get to that point. I loved/hated bbf and changed back and forth but eventually it just felt 'right' to me.A little more babble... as Cindy said above, you need to save changes to your U's while in the U mode and changes to your body when you are not in U mode. If you are in U1 and make a change, it sort of sticks around but not saved. If you turn the camera off and back on without leaving U1, the change will still be there, but if switch away from U1 and then come back to U1, its gone. So you have to remember to do the 'save'. But maybe you don't want the save, lol. It just made me crazy keeping track. I tweak too much so for me the best use of the U's is for quick access to basic 'emergency' settings.</blockquote>
