I agree 100%. What we should have (instead of a scene hierarchy tree) is an object and subobject hierarchy tree.
I have to say this again... Max's object grouping with MoI's ease of use, powerful commands and perfect UI will be a best seller. To be able to have this combination MoI should have a kind of modifiers and a very detailed editable modification history
