AAB Insulated Concrete Forms

Has anyone there worked with this construction system? I'm in a project that's built with it and I'm in doubt on HOW should I construct it... The system works like a Lego, where blocks are joined and then filled with concrete. (For those who want to know what I'm talking about see www.euromac2.com or http://oikos.com/esb/40/AAB-icf.html)
I don't know if I just should use composite walls or if there is another better way....

There is that, of course.
Useful in 9, 8, 7 and 6, where I come from. Old habits die hard.

But I am still being cautious in using this new option.
For one, I am set in my ways , and for another, I am guessing (could be wrong here) that if you use this option in every construction element, you will get a MUCH slower refresh, and probably start getting errors.

The way this option works reminds me of the SEO. It's great, but if you start relying on it heavily, you start getting errors and slowing everything down.

Maybe there is someone out there who has experimented with the floor display option to it's limit, putting everything Projected mode, who could tell me if there are any glitches.
