On the template front you have some options. For switches if they're not bound to a switch profile they don't pick up anything from the template. I have several customers that require what you mentioned with MX & MS not template bound and MR networks template bound. In these cases they don't use combined networks. This way they can just bind all the network X-wireless networks to the template and leave the network X-appliance & network X-switch networks unbound. I realize this isn't as nice as having a combined network with parts of it bound and other unbound, but it works. Good suggestion about the baseline or golden template idea. Whether it's a template or network you clone from I often see folks use these methods. As for 2 WANs. Hopefully one day that'll no longer be a limitation.
