Managing mental overhead is the crux when it comes to coding for me as well. That's one reason I don't like using sneak as much. I like to be in the habit of making those constant vim motion commands instead of typing out the word I want to jump to. Should be an interesting case study to say the least.

Honestly a lot of time I even do a dj.. rather than d6j as it is easier to see. I can have 2 lines gone faster than my eyes move to the numbers and find it on the number row. The main reason I us relative lines are when I need the whole block in my paste register.
