I already knew all this, but I really don't like a tool for everything, so I wasn't willing to do this change, but I have just changed my mind and I see that this may be the right time to do the change, so we'll give this a chance and if it doesn't work we'll go back to the old way. Thanks for your comments, I'm doing some tests now and will upload when I have it tested on my testing setups.
