SharePoint Content Deployment Wizard

Today I came across the SharePoint Deployment Wizard while looking for a way to deploy entire site collections from one farm to another. I just finished building a three stage SharePoint environment consisting of DEV, QA and Production and I needed a way to push the site collections through the staged environment without using the stsadm tool. I loaded the content deployment wizard, specified a few URL's and the entire collection moved from DEV to QA with no issues at all.
Since we had only a week left to deploy the solutions this tool saved a huge amount of work for our team.

Stephen: lookiong at moving a SharePoint Site collection from one box in one domain to another new pristine forest. Do you think this will work? Or do you have another idea?
