How about

1. FIX NURBS (see rhino, inventor, solid works, oh and the dam package that Maya's nurbs tools were taken from ... alias (formly studio tools) - nurbs work correctly in these packages why can't they fix them in Maya?).

2. Take a look at the Cinema 15 and hire the guy that did their bevel tool it's insanely good! It's literally one step away from - select the entire model and click bevel - done! lol
