This is slick, my only problem with it is that Lion is a huge download. It's bad enough waiting on fresh OS installs, but waiting on a download and install would knock the wind out of my sails. I'll be buying the USB stick.

You can also pull the disk image out of the installer and make your own, rather than paying the $40 premium

  That's probably what I'll do. Just have to copy the image before you install, or it disappears in the cleanup.

USB drives come out next month. Won't your download finish before then? :)

  I don't think the boot version contains the full download. I'm guessing it contains just enough to start the restore.
