The cloud images IMO are awesome in terms of giving you a fully functional base system with zero bloat in them. Honestly I messed with building/importing images for a while and finally just decided to start with the base cloud images and build what I needed on them, then save them off as images. It was way more efficient for me, but I realize that doesn't always work for everyone.
