My old TT bike has track ends. Depending on how dirty you want to get (ooh nurse) it takes about 10s longer to remove/insert. If you want to avoid touching the chain add a minute to find some gloves.
Fully removing the skewer makes it easier if you're struggling - less to catch on the derailler so you don't need to move it out of the way so far.
