I found it's much faster to access expose. I set my lower left corner as expose and upper right corner to show desktop. I think you will like it once you try it. :-) Have you considered using the Hot corner figure? I found it’s much faster to access expose.

This isn't because I'm a longtime mac-user and used to the old F9-F11 convention (I'm a recent switcher), it's because I'd rather not have to use modifiers with F3 to access all of the Expose features. That said, I *never* thought of using those extra function keys above the number pad. To be honest, I don't think I've really ever noticed them... (they don't exist on PC keyboards... atleast not any PC keyboard I've ever used). I think yours is a great solution, since it will allow me to enable the special funcitons of the function keys on the new aluminum keyboard, AND have a single key for each Expose function.
