This still implies that Expert nee Custom is superior to Guided nee Novice, in ways that it is not. As far as I can tell the only thing Expert provides is the ability to skip steps and to do steps in the wrong order so that the install will fail. Standard/Express/Exceptional. Would be my vote, if I had a vote which I'm sure I don't.
