A permalink may help a bit.

The results seem a little better than they have been. Odd that they have, in some cases, several pages from the same site listed in a scattered fashion across the top 10. The grouping that Google does seems so much better.

They finally started ranking our brand specific pages instead of schematics for some terms. That's an improvement.

From what I can tell, the top 10 seems like it is the same basic sites, but different pages from the sites (more targeted to the search term) that are ranking. That's an improvement to me.

Yes brian and seeing many more SERP's contain deeper content from websites. Category and product pages showing an increased value.

I'd just like to see them fix their damn crawler.

What's wrong with it? I haven't heard of any real issues for a while, so I'm wondering what you're seeing that is a problem.

Weird. We see it about the same as Googlebot when averaged over the week. Googlebot is really busy the day after we submit a sitemap.xml file, but Slurp is much more consistent.
