Yep, it's a game changer :) I just figure this one out last week:

"Save As -> Webpage Complete" will save your current state (albeit in
the horrible page.html with a collection of files in page_files/*
format). But you can save before / after a huge mocking up session and
then run diff. This usually gets about 90-95% of the changes for me.

Oh, you can also right-click the element in the inspector and force
its state (to :hover etc) and even set a javascript breakpoint if the
element or its children are modified ie. by an ajax call.
