Personally I'd turn it on for both local & remote usage right away. With
real users trying it out all the time, it'll quickly get debugged & more
robust. I think having & documenting 2 different ways of doing storage
will cause more trouble that you'll save. 

The dialog looks good btw - glad we're finally able todo this now.
