Which is exactly what I said in the second paragraph (right after pointing out the key words).

I also pointed out that just because you have an uber-widget doesn't mean that you should use it, but having it is nice because if you should use it, you can do it very quickly.

OK, so I also suggested a comparison test that should be easy to whip up come build season...
