Being in control of your IP can only be a good thing. Much better to upload direct and get a higher royalty.

(other than time)I will be using Alamy specifically for Editorial and/or specific images/sets I may select. Pretty much as an exclusive/without the exclusivity.

Fair enough, that's what I do with RM; but still, you say you have opted your RF into Alamy via Yay, unless I've misunderstood. Doesn't that mean Yay would eat into some of the commission you'd earn from RF commissions at Alamy?

But I would like to think my approach to Alamy is one of a stock agency and not a microstock agency.

But I would like to think my approach to Alamy is one of a stock agency and not a microstock agency.Am I totally missing something?You have RF images on Yay and you are allowing Yay to put your micro RF on Alamy?Have I got that part right or wrong?The only possible logic I can see to that is that you're willing for Yay to collect part of your commission in return for saving you time in the admittedly extremely tedious upload process at Alamy.H*ck, you can even use a totally different pseudonym for your RF work if you so choose.
