Yes, I agree. Some other EUF's issues that need for attenction:
- new upgrades selction graphics look at bit coarse in most cases. They should be redone trying to match as closely as possible the style and quality of stock graphics. If Rongel is interested, I am up to work on them in the next days, for them to be released together with his megamod 
- it has been reported that some of the new coatings/paint schemes don't get applied correctly. Can someone confirm and detail the above statement?
- even after sober's patch, upgrade availability dates are not always correct. Tracking down and fixing the wrong dates might require a bit of reserach, but it is worth the effort imo.

Good points about EUF! It's too bad that TheBeast hasn't been around lately, it's always best that the author of the mod does the fixes. I still think it can be done, as long as we only fix things and not start to distort his creation. I have sent him a PM about permission to use his mods, but it seem he was around last time in february so it might take a while.
Not sure about the graphics fixes ( I have never advanced very far in campaign so I haven't seen most of the upgrades!), is it messing with somebodys mod? Well maybe one way to do it, is to think that it's a regular mod, I mean that it would be included into the megamod, but in credits there would read something like "Gap's Alternate Equipment Upgrade Graphics". That way people know what exactly has been done. So if you have spare time, go for it. My ideology concerning graphics is that modifications shouldn't stray too far from the stock game. Universal look is something I want and aim for with this mod. So your edits could help with this goal!
And I also agree that the UI is and those grey boxes are a bit dull.

- New UI's version of the file contains all the changes by EUF. It is therefore okay overwriting EUF's file with the one by TDW.

This is very nice to hear, I was thinking there was a ticking time bomb lurking in the modsoups waiting to go off. Currently my time is limited so if somebody wants to take a close look to EUF and release a fix-mod/patch, that would be great! Otherwise, I'll look into it later!
