Never even tempted to switch to Google maps, happy with what I see now and no problems either. 

I can mostly agree with this.  The worst Bing areas in MSFS are still better than what we had before and the best areas are as good as the best Google map areas.  However, there ARE Google Map areas that are MUCH better than Bing.  Once you fly over these areas the Bing versions do look poor in comparison.

Considering the latest version of the Google Map Replacement Tool is SO EASY to install and use, I would suggest it's well worth a look.

I haven't bothered with this Google Mod. I was afraid of bandwith and LOD issues

Scenery data is streamed from MS or Google - what different bandwidth issues would there be?
