The Degusto theme review I recently published showed me that switching themes on an established site is not as easy as 1, 2, 3. I didn’t know whether I should write the review from a fresh install of WordPress or on an established site pre filled with content. This is where you come in.

Personally, I think it’s a great idea if commercial theme authors provided an XML file which contained content exclusively for their theme preferably, the content I see on the demo site.
I voted for using a pre-existing install, but really, I think both methods are useful.
On the one hand, using a fresh install of WordPress would enable you to review the theme essentially as the developer intended it to look. On the other hand, using your pre-existing WordPress install would enable you to review the theme as it would look on in already established (i.e. personalized) environment.
