it is worth it i bought 30pounds of live rock from dave and i got tons of micro starfish, mini brittle starfish and tons of spaghettie worms and other worms similar but yellow and black and mysis shrimp swimming around my tanks at night, already had many different pods and lots of bristle worms but even more now. i believe he said the tank that had live rock had package from inland aquatics in it.
For what it is worth, based on reading RC and input from folks here I will be ordering from kits Inland. I also spent some time on the phone with Mike from Inland. He was very helpful.
One thing, I did find out was their website is out of date and the kit prices have gone up a bit. I believe the detritivore kit is now $85 plus shipping.

That depends on how "live" their sand is...did they treat it with drugs or chemicals like FWE, Interceptor, etc, etc...we don't know what all that stuff kills. Did they feed their tank adequately to have these critters? Also, most of the critters I named above live IN/ON the rock, so the sand may or may not contain much more than beneficial bacteria.
So then what do you think I should order from those two places? I know that I'd be getting beneficial stuff for my tank regardless, but I want to know what you order. I think the live rock seeding kit (or whatever it's called) is especially important because I'm buying dry rock and making it live.
No problem, glad to help!
I would do the "Mix n' Match 9 for $99.95 from IPSF getting the following:
Live sand activator
Baby bristleworms
Strombus grazers
Wonder mud
Amphipods
microhermits
ministars
nerite grazers
caulerpa
mama mia worms
From Inland, just get the standard detritivore kit for $70...doesn't look like much but it is worth it.

oh lol I see well good luck with the list! 
Something else I forgot to mention last night. Chad and I built the suspended canopy on Friday. It got its first coat of paint last night and will get another today. I'll probably put a third coat of paint on it later tonight or tomorrow and then I'll post pics
