Yes, and yes.

I happily pay $60/RT for 5 NQ's instead of the $16/RT I paid for one 
ND.  I haven't been using it long enough to get good stats on it, but 
I'd guess my fills are at LEAST 3-4 full points better, per RT, than 
they were with the pit-filled ND.  The spreads are much narrower and 
the fills are much faster.  The fast/direct nature of electronic 
trades, vs. calling to the pit, is a much better solution in my 
opinion.
