It took me roughly 2-3 hours to go through and try to
clean up only a handful of units when I was trying it
this way...The problem is that a majority of the units
have options which are split into 6-8 separate options
per price category (it seems that certain weapon
options are priced differently in different
rulesets)...Each of these 6-8 entries can be
consolidated into a single entry with 3-4 live tags...

These would probably also save time...however I hadn't
gotten nearly that far...Personally I didn't find the
data entry nearly as tedious as some (especially when
y'all pointed out the "copy" feature) but all of the
option entry takes serious time one way or the other...
