Thanks for the comments all! I was kinda partial to #2 as well.
Barb, what I have seen of Portland so far is great!
@ Olderndirt I have used the new weather themes a couple of times but not in any of these pics. I usually put in realworld weather then go into customize and change it up a little to make it more interesting.

Almost forgot to answer your second question. After installing I went into FTX Central and applied it and haven't done anything else since. Everything is staying the same so far. The only question I have is, I believe you can only have PNW or Aus. running. I wish you could apply and load both without having to switch back and forth. I had Australia activated all the time and never turned it off.
