The live images are important not only as a showcase but also because they allow an easy installation. After that installation the system keeps the same feeling and behavior (assuming there are no bugs) as the live image that originated it. Case in point when I use the kde live image and install it to the hard drive the new installed system retains the same behavior as that defined in the original live cd. And that remains after upgrades. Sure I could use a kickstart file but the live images are a more direct way to get the same thing with the added advantage that the resulting set of packages as been tested. FWIW I use kde but I am in no way associated with the SIG other than following the kde@fpo mailing list.
