I did the on-the-car IM cleaning a couple of days ago. LOTS of smoke, I hope that means it was doing some good !
My goal for the summer is to do the whole teardown cleaning, gasket replacement, etc.
I'm wondering if both methods have value. It seems like you should be able to do the teardown serious cleaning, and then do the on-the-car method every 10,000 or so miles (as someone suggested) to keep it clean? Kind of maintaining the cleanliness? Does that make sense?

Me too!
On the subject of cleaning, I've got myself a couple bottles of Techron. Is that a suitable substance to use for the quickie job?
I'm wondering about which to do first--the easy way or the hard way. What has me worried is if I try the chemical flush method first, it'll break loose a bunch of crap that will, on its way to the tailpipe, clog my cats, gum up my O2 sensors, or any other horrible things I can think up.
See, for the last (at least) 20,000 miles, my car has had a drop-in K&N filter with a hole in it sitting in the engine compartment without an airbox. Who knows what kind of crud is lurking in my intake? 
Stealth is best. Make it look stock. Confuse people. Bother people.
