Larry, Thanks for the offer, but I wouldn't want to turn our users into more product for survey monkey. Besides, I'm not looking for votes, I'm looking for reasons why removing the dialogs might be a bad thing. A single person with a persuasive reason would outweigh all of the "don't cares".
To your points: A Scheduled Transaction is an even better reminder and quick fill (aka autocomplete) in the register will fill in the last payment account too. What quickfill won't do is pre-populate the credit field with the reconciled balance.
