Going forward I will probably pick up a set of jigs from Fastracks, that way I can modify the switches as I build them and customize them to my liking. I have been having a good time modifying the factory switches but I would not recommend doing a very large layout this way as it would eat up a lot of time to just get trains running. Being as I only have 6 switches on the whole visable section of the layout I figured I would tackle the challenge.
On another note:
I have started wiring my Toroise switches and track...which I HATE!!
but like everything if its worth doing its worth doing right!! So even though it is not my favorite part of model building it gets me one step closer to running train 
I plan on having all the turnouts powered by tortoise with DPDT switches on the fascia. I may get bored and add a Digitrax stationary decoder, but not sure...
As soon as I have something to show for all my burns and cuts I will post some pictures!!!
