Strictly speaking, there is no privileged position here to argue for. If the Ptolemaic model gives the same observable results as the heliocentric model, then it’s just the same system but modelled from our perspective on Earth.

Indeed, this might even be more valuable to you if you wanted to show the motion of the planets and constellations relative to Earth directly, rather than the sun. Here I’m thinking about a physical model than might cycle through the zodiac for example.

If this complexity costs you nothing to build and maintain, and is automatically validated, then the mechanism under the hood probably isn’t something you care about very much.
