Fast change to a full F chord?

Don't Fear the ReaperTom, I only read Dennis' answer here so I don't know if I'm conflicting with others but I identify with Dennis' approach. Learning the E chord with Middle, ring and little finger (pinky) is a grerat way to set up the F barre. I took a close look at what I do: I place the middle finger first (that's the anchore), then the ring and pinky then the barre. Still, the change to the barre F is still the slowest change for me... even after all these years... but I'm quick enough and if I have to be quicker, then I go for the baseball grip which is how I originally learned to do the F.
PS: er, what's DFTR.... Dont' F The Rain??
