I hear what you're saying and the answer is no. What I do is cut then, as you would be doing anyway is refine. Use the Roll Tool, (N) to move the cut point, it does exactly the same thing as overlaying on another layer, but keeps everything neat on one line. If you want to just work on the cuts use the trim window, (T) and jump from one cut to the next hitting play to see a lead to/play past the cut of about 4 secs.
The multi layered camera angle might seem a better way to do this work, but its actually more time consuming as the trim window won't work properly, slowing down the whole checking and refining process. The Roll and Ripple tools work inside the Trim Window.
