Richard, I feel it completely unfair that you didn't mention CITCEM-GHP (the ex-NEPS): http://www.ghp.ics.uminho.pt/genealogias.html
True, they only cover two islands extensively, and a bit of São Jorge. But still, even though it's not a magic bullet, it's still worth the shot. And I second your opinion. The ultimate reference (short of time travel) are the parish records in the CCA. NEPS is just a pretty good index to those.
