This is what I used to do, and it works perfectly well ofcourse. There is 
one important downside... When you want to change the intensity of a 
channel not only in one queue, but in all queues using that channel: you 
have to change everywhere... Assume you have 3 channels that light out 
some part of the scene, initially all set to 60%. But during rehersal you 
notice something like 40%,50%,70% is better, then you have to change every 
queue where this part of the scene is used... We often have between 70 and 
100 queues, so this isn't very practical.

I did use groups in the stage editor, which makes live somewhat easier, 
but still... you have to manually change them all.

thanks though
