Great thread Steven, this would be a great help to any perspective aquascaper. I agree entirly with what you say about obssesion with coloured shrimp, i must admit that i do have a couple of cherry shrimp in my tank but find CRS quite hideouse and very destracting when there is a whole army of themplaced in a beautiful planted tank and i personally can't see why people would pay the kind of money that CRS command, although everyone has their own likes and dislikes,
Also i would add that the hardest thing for a beginner to do, is to try and limit the mumber of plants in one tank. There will be a long line of plants you whish to add to your tank but in my opinion and to coin the phrase 'less is more' it is very easy to make a promising tank look messy by adding to many different plants.
