I've got both phones running profiles maxed out at 800 using the 2.03sholes. I will admit the 2.1 launcher is a bit choppy but once it gets going it flows real nice. I'm digging the smoke glass theme for now, rockin skinned beautiful widgets. I'm the farthest thing from a tech nerd but this app with so much help with this forum made it so so easy! I do have questions:

When SMU is updated in market, is the updated ROM embedded in update or is it just the application itself being updated.
No, when you update SMU, and launch it for the first time, it will check Sholes for a new Rom, or Recovery image. If they're available, it will ask if you would like to download them. After they download to your SD Card, you can update to the new Rom.
Can someone who created profiles in SetCpu post screenshot so people can make sure they check the right boxes, set governor correctly etc.. i think this would eliminate some future questions.
The latest version, 1.4.6 has a better user interface than the older version. You may want to see if the update is on the market yet. If it helps, I have mine set at:
Settings/Auto Detect
Set on Boot
Profiles:
Charging 1000/8000
Sleep-Standby 800/250
Power < 25% 550/250
Failsafe Profile 550/250
Battery > 40c 550/125
