Best FSX Add on scenery for USA?

I have FSX with all the SP 1, 2, Acceleration, etc running nicely, and am ready to mock it all up with add on scenery. I've read the PC Pilot review of Ultimate Terrain X USA edition by Flight 1 and I'm tempted to get it. Can anyone recommend it over another, or vise versa? Can anyone recommend something better?

Also, anyone know if Blue sky (Photo real scenery of Sierra Nevada and now Rocky Mountain scenery) is planning on a CD release of their stuff?

UT USA is almost a must, regardless of any regional photoreal add-ons.

UT combined with a good underlying landclass like Cloud 9, Ground Environment X, Flight Environment X becomes even more realistic.

Then if your pocket runs to it, get a weather programme like ASX and its companion XGraphics which has clouds casting realistic shadows on the ground.

And sit it all on a good mesh, which FSGenesis in its upcoming v2 looks to be producing.  

So there we are - I reckon only about $400+, but you soon realise the default is crap.
