Yes, but your join by location feature is exceptional and needs to remain. I don't know of any alternative to that. It has been a life saver on several occasions for me. (Think grass v.to.rect, do something r.*, r.to.vect --> oops, I know longer have attributes!)

Thanks for your great contributions, as always.
