Why not have _both_?  All you have to do is edit tex-mode.el, copy the
code for (TeX-print) to, say, (TeX-preview), change all references to
TeX-dvi-print-command in the function to, say,
TeX-dvi-preview-command, and add the variable TeX-dvi-preview-command
in the same style as TeX-dvi-print-command.  You could even go as far
as binding a key sequence to TeX-preview -- look for the (define-key)
that binds TeX-print and Do The Right Thing.

If you really want to be thorough, change the help text for
(latex-mode) and (tex-mode) in loaddefs.el to include (TeX-preview).

Isn't Emacs _great_?  8-)
