Hi Brad,
I used Instant Scenery 1 for Ketchikan Harbor but switched over to Instant Scenery 2 for Hollis. At first I had the same feeling as you but now can't live without it. It probably gives me a 10% increase in productivity over Instant Scenery 2 using the group copy and paste, direct mouse movement to place objetcts and favorite folders. It is also much easier to choose to not supress autogen when placing an object.
