In response to the original idea:

I think that it would work, for initial design purposes, as AL is a LOT easier to work with & a hell of a lot cheaper. Once you get your best designs in AL, you can transfer that design to CU and THEN start tweaking the design to work better with the properties of CU.

So basically, you use the cheaper/easier AL initially to test & work torward a better design, then transfer that to CU and continue on until you got it right.
