Glenn this setup is very effective.  I use it too -- I run current and I 
keep a partition with a stock 14.2 VM and -current VM (both 
Virtualbox).  When it's time to test, I clone the VM, do my testing, 
then destroy it.

I keep the 'master' VMs up to date but stock in all other respects so 
the clones are clean testing environments.
