Perhaps I can help. I've been using Org for a few years and not yet done *anything* with the new exporter aside from a test export with it many months (a year??) ago when it was first being introduced. When I finally make the switch, I'll try to document my steps to see if there are discrepancies with the "Switch over guide" referenced by others in this thread. Perhaps it will help you to have a companion in the changeover? Your email made me want to make the change sooner vs. later for the sake of others!
