Unless the rules have changed then you are allowed to make your reply and then write down both your opponents move and then your own, Ive always done this anyway.
My main reason against increments is that I do not like the concept of gaining time. It favours slow players and makes it much more easy to achieve a draw in the final stages of the game. I also enjoy time scrambles, which for me is the most exciting part of both playing and watching games. 30 seconds per move is a lot in simplified positions.
