in fact, mouse synch actually works well in conjunction with  
structural alignment; the two are not mutually exclusive.   
superimposing more than a few structures can be visually distracting  
in my experience (of course, this depends on your ultimate goal).  I  
actually switched my interface from superimposed to side-by-side, to  
make it easier to compare multiple characteristics between structures.
