Typically, you're not coding *again* in Fusebox.  Rather, you're taking the existing 
HTML form 
and inserting whatever CF you need to make it dynamic.  Because so much of the 
application 
is defined through the iterative process of creating the prototype, I try to avoid 
thinking in terms 
of application architecture *at all* during this phase.  The architectural analysis 
happens after 
the prototype is established.  This allows me to make architectural decisions (like 
whether the 
use of a given MVC style is even appropriate for the project at hand) at an 
appropriate point in 
the development cycle, rather than locking into architectural decisions before we even 
begin.

All that said, every shop has their own local approaches.  If you're working in an 
environment 
that is committed to using a particular MVC style on every project, then it would make 
sense 
to create a design approach that leverages that factor.
