I just wanted to say that my first experience with the Wizard has been great. It is especially useful during that final iterative tweaking stage of model development. I must have run my latest through it 20 times!
Awww, now you're making me feel guilty for not adapting to the wizard! ;D I know there are a lot of people out there who use it, though. I just got used to the old way, and I'm hesitant to change a formula that works for me. . . I hear it's great, though!
I've tried both ways. I prefer the the wizard for sheer speed. When I'm busy tweaking a model, I really like how quickly I get to testing it in MSTS by only answering a few questions.
I agree I give up some control over exactly what happens to my model before MSTS sees it, but that's a worthwhile price.
The manual export method required me to keep a few tidbits refreshed in my gray matter ram (My lame excuse for bad memorization skills) to get it right. Sometimes I suffer from the poke->plop problem. When I poke new information into my brain, other equally important information plops out.
