The selection "LEGO Set Reference (Popup)" on top of the screen is in my
opinion a great improvement for the usage of the QuickSet. Previously, the
thing that happened most often was that I was reading an article and was
interested in which set people was talking about. Then I opened www.lugnet.com
in a new window and typed in the wanted set in the search box (so without
opening the QuickSet).
Now I usually type in the number on top of the page and click on the Popup
option when I'm reading an article. This has increased my usage of QuickSet a
lot.
For me the advantage of Quickset over the old large page is that you can look
at the set image and read (at least a part of) the article at the same time and
don't have to change between windows continuously.
