@Rahkshi: Hmm...I see where you're coming from (goodness knows, the MBA kits have inspired me FAR more than they would have if they were simply some sort of LDD color scheme), but at the same time, building with unlimited bricks doesn't HAVE to remove limitations.  I generally build in LDD a.) things at minifig scale, b.) Star Trek creations, c.) LU-inspired creations, or d.) a combination of the above.  With Star Trek and LU in particular, the theme I'm building for definitely affects the way I'm building things; a desk in Star Trek has a vastly different profile than, say, a desk you'd see in a City set.  Likewise, for LU I find it challenging because I have to factor in the amount of space needed for minifigs, plus jumping mechanics; if I want someplace to be inaccessible to players, I have to make sure they can't double-jump to it, and I also have to leave enough height in rooms for players to at least single-jump, otherwise they can get stuck.

(That last reason is actually the reason my current building project is on hold; until I can get hard data on how high/far/etc. minifigs jump and double-jump [as well as the physics of which direction minifigs face when they stand still on a rotating platform], I can't build the track for my secret masterpiece.)
