dgorsman, I think you're right it does seem like the work to benefit ratio is low with this one. To clarify though, I do want a custom drop-down list, but one that is integrated into a toolbar, just like the layers and dims one that comes "stock" with AutoCAD. (You may not be familiar with these because you've advance past toolbars...)
Also, sorry for the smug reply earlier. My coffee hadn't kicked in yet either.
