I totally agree with you on the IFC webpage; I often leave sites that are designed like the old version, too messy/sloppy. Maybe it is all in the users preference but, a site that utilizes white space and has great flow and functionality is much more successful and attractive. Great article.

I even had taken some training on it back when it first came out, but I haven't ever done anything with it. Reading through your testing has convinced me I've got to give it a fair try and see if I can have a similar moment of discovery as to its value. I have some site testing to do and your take on integrated versus non is something I'm going to factor into my test I have totally forgotten about Google Website Optimizer until I read this post.

I prefer the integrated look myself because it appears more polished and cohesive, but with that said, I think it's more a matter of personal preference. Very interesting article; thanks.
