[Avodah] Kriat Hatorah

[Rich, Joel]

R'YBS held that the order of kohein, Levi, Yisrael for aliyot is a requirement in the kriat hatorah (not in kavod) and thus, if not observed, there would not be a kiyum krait hatorah bshlaimuta (complete completion of the mitzvah of kriat hatorah (see Halakkic Positions of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik - Page 101). This would preclude what seems to be the somewhat common approach of asking the Cohain to leave so that his aliyah can be given to a Yisrael.
All other things being equal, should you seek out a minyan with a Cohain to get the complete mitzvah?
