Who here has used a sous vide machine

There's no real reason to do a reverse sear if you are using an oven with a pan or grill to sear. The reverse sear method became popular, because it's generally much easier to raise the temperature of the grill than to lower it - so it makes sense to put the high temp (sear) portion of the cook at the end.

Since you don't have that issue with an oven, it makes more sense to sear and then roast because when you are cooking at a lower temp for the second phase, it's much easier to nail your target temp.
My wife prefers the sear then roast, so that is how most are prepared, plus it is the quickest method from wrapper to plate.
