Cutting in is faster and looks cleaner. Might need to water your paint down a bit to do it.
Google up some videos on how to do it, it's really not hard.

Hint, pros don't use tape. They cut an edge with the brush free-hand.

I started doing this and not only is it simple but it saves money and the end result is MUCH cleaner.
