Has anyone used Spellwell?

I am thinking about using Spellwell for my son. I like the idea I can give alternate words if the current spelling words are too easy for him. Has any one used it and how did it work for you?

My oldest is finishing book Dd and has used it from book A. This particular ds preferred the layout over Spelling Workout. He really enjoyed the ETC books, so this was a perfect fit for him. I like the alternative words, as well as the alternative homework ideas at the bottom of each lesson if you need more practice. They also have a few blank lines at the bottom of the list so you can add in problem words to the next weeks list. We are in the last book, so we will move on to the Calvert CD in the fall.
HTH,

How long does did it take you to get the Spellwell series? Do I need to find another spelling program or can I just go onto a solid vocabulary program and use that as a spelling/vocabulary program?

I bought them at our Homeschool book fair directly from EPS. I guess it depends on the child. I am not ready to stop spelling just yet with this ds, so we will continue with the Calvert CDs.
