I don't think anyone will laugh at you for that at all. A PD blower offers a very predictable power band that can certainly be appreciated. Turbos are all based on engine load and exhaust flow so, you can have a very sudden onset of power but, that's why I'm a firm believer in AWD cars at this point. It largely doesn't matter how the power hits, it'll most likely be ok until you start making retard power.

However, there's a lot to be said about a well-sorted PD RWD car that can put the power down. It'll hit harder than your drunken step father while still maintaining a lot of that momentum up top.
