The clone tool can indeed be pretty quick if you just learn to use it.
Of course, that's the problem: people grab fancy software (often spendy) but don't take the time to learn the tools!, until...

I definitely fall into that category. I got LR3 and CS5 at the same time at the student rate, and have taken the time to become pretty comfortable in LR. Problem is, almost everything I need to do is in LR, and I haven't had the time to learn PS with an infant, full-time job, and a part-time master's degree on the go. When I'm done my course, I plan on doing a better job of learning CS5.

Try the Patch tool too, in some situations it can be faster than the clone tool and less messy. In some other situations the converse is true. I use a combination of both.
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
