Wow interesting. I have always just down strummed. I play on expert and can finish about 90% of all the songs and score in the 90% maybe I should start to practice the alt.

Songs like PDA by Interpol is basically a good learning experience to alt strum a whole song.

Alt strum is pretty much my default, also sometimes use two fingers to alternate upstrum on bass, though that can get tiring.
Of course I have been playing real guitar a long long time so alt strumming is like breathing for me. Sometimes I might even downstrum on downbeats and upstrum on upbeats, which is also what you might do on a real guitar.
It's just flat out more fun to play this way, IMO.
