When I'm building a character, after I pick my race/class, the very next thing is to assign ability scores, and as everything else gets filled out I'm constantly pulling modifiers from them, so there's a very real convenience reason for having them right up there.
As mentioned in my Design Notes, I'm trying to find a middle ground between a character sheet that's easy to create a character with, and one that's easy to play off of.
