cck imagefield questions

I've been struggling with media during the last year without any good solutions and so it's an issue that I revisit periodically. My ideal is to have an extremely easy way for users to place images inline. IMCE is good, but too complex for many users. It is also not yet compatible with YUI wysiwyg (I'm experimenting with it instead of FCKEditor). 'Filefield insert' looks interesting, but is not ready for production.

One solution I tried a while back was cck filefield/imagefield. I absolutely loathe the idea of using cck to add media. However, it does seem to be the simplest method and so I'm going to try again; having given up the idea of users putting their images inline, next to the text, I am willing to settle for images below the text.

Can anyone quickly confirm that the combo of modules:

filefield
imagefield
imageAPI
image-cache
lightbox (or other similar module for displaying groups of images)

...will do the following things:

· users can upload several images to one node (one at a time is fine)
· the images are auto-resized by imagecache, and thumbs created
· when the node is viewed, the thumbs will appear below the body in a horizontal line
· when the thumbs are clicked, the large version is displayed in some sort of lightbox type module,
with some sort of browsing facility to see all the images attached to that node

Basically, I am forfeiting inline placement of images (for a couple of years until the wysiwyg editors are
able to do it more easily), but the next acceptable solution is a 'mini-gallery' at the bottom of the node.

Any confirmation or advice is welcome.

I'm going to start downloading the modules and setting it up in the meantime, but would love if someone
can see a pitfall in my plan, or know of a better method.

Cheers.
