To FCP X or to PluralEyes - What's your workflow?

Just finished testing PluralEyes 4. I was really hoping it would do some of the things I'd want like individual clips without stripping that original audio.

Here's the short of it (confirmed with a phone call to RedGiant Support)

-Multicam option gives one long multicam sequence (storyline) of all events rather than individual multicam clips
-Replaced audio limits picture to length of synced audio (may want the video after that)
-Only way to get individual synced clips is using the replace audio feature which creates clips as compound clips rather than FCP X synchronized clips.
-Confirmed with phone call. PluralEyes 4 can only return synchronized individual clips if you choose the replace audio feature.

As stated before. I like that FCP X keeps the main audio with it as sometimes I actually do need it (for certain types of shots). Additionally I like having the video past the synced portion of audio as is not the case with PluralEyes generated individual clips.

I am starting to wonder if the architecture of FCP X puts limits on 3rd party apps being able to create clips for FCP X as though FCP X created them; perhaps it's a limitation of the XML. I am not sure.
