I beg to differ. If you start with units... any units (which would be required to get a crate immediatly) then you can stretch to the full extent with your power, and barracks (becasue you've scouted), and still be exactly timed with your opponent. or slightly faster if your good at using the keyboard commands and eyeball the distance correctly.
