It really is much better viewed on black using Fiveprime's Black MagicSeems faster; brush adjustments more interactive/intuitive, and export to Flickr from within LR3 works!

Sharpen seems better as well, but I'm not so sure that the new noise reduction is quite as amazing as others have found.

Gotta play, clearly!

Plus I found some really cool pointers on using the new beta here.
