Okay, you want opinions. Mine are half-baked, but here you go.

I submit further that having an additional aquascaping demonstration 
might take away from the excitement of Amano's demonstration.

Maybe. I also think it's a take-off of ADA's party Iwagumi contest and 
will seem all the more obviously so with Amano actually at the convention.

When I mentioned the "sandbox" idea, I didn't really see it as an 
ALTERNATIVE to an Iwagumi Challenge, but I think it would serve well as 
one now that Karen mentions it.

I do feel some slight tug at not having a Iron Aquascaper Challenge of 
some form this year because a) it has already been "leaked" to the APD 
list and b) it would have been cool to have Amano judge it on the spot. 
But it would also serve well for him to judge our 2008 contest as well.
