Absolutely. And IMO this is one of the best ways to quickly dispel any
marketing FUD, as everyday folks might accept the word of a [biased]
"expert" in the absense of any other data, but put some stunning
screenshots of GRASS (or whatever) in action in front of them and
they'll believe their own eyes over some advertizing spiel, and adjust
their view of that "expert" accordingly. They'll even be willing to deal
with a new & difficult interface to get to the top of the hill if they
know how good the views can be.

these are worth a million bucks:
