As with you guys - I did the full import so that I could play with a real world scenario.
I got a few of my users to have a muck around and throw in suggestions.
All the while, my old classic board was running as normal.
While I was setting things up - I went totally over the top and wrote down every single setting on every page of the CP (well the ones I was changing to my own settings.)
A good way to learn the CP and get input at the same time.
