One of the main reasons I was looking at the nested was for the extra 20 segments. Seems like a bit of waste to do 20 segs on 6 continents, when for not much more, I can get 40 segs on 6 continents simply by buying a second RTW ticket somewhere else. I realize there is the whole having to go around the world twice issue, but I'm sure we can sort something out with that (drop in at home for a holiday or something).

what a ridiculous thing to do, calling CAI Europe. Thanks for that info. in that case, what is a "good grouping" of continents? Would it make sense to do a AONE3 ex-US, then a AONE4 ex-CAI, so I could do something like North Am - Europe - Australia ex-US, then Europe - Africa - Asia - SouthAm ex-CAI, doubling up on europe?
Thanks for your help!
