The argument "for" infield in seems to make a stronger argument for infield at double-play depth.

- "A ball not hit at MIF would not get double play", but this ball wouldn't be fielded with infield-in anyway. And with MIF back, maybe it would get the double play (it depends).

- "A ball knocked down" with infield in might well have been a ball fielded cleanly (and double play) with MIF back.

And as you point out, having MIF back gives a better chance to catch short pop ups.

You didn't mention anything about the batter - was he a above average runner unlikely to be doubled-up?
