I've never really tried the Sprint Logic function, but I'm not real keen on 
keys that send different messages at different times.  So I set up my CW 
memories as follows:

1.     CQ NA K8MR NA
2.     DE K8MR NR # JIM OH
3.     K8MR NA
4.     K8MR
5.     (Other Guys Call)
6.     QSO B4 K8MR NA
7.     @ TU NR # JIM OH K8MR

So when I've called a guy and logged his exchange, I hit F7 and its all done. 
 When a guys answers my CQ, I hit insert as normal.

The F3 memory get used after an exchange when I will get the frequency. But 
first pause a second, because often guys will call as soon as the other guy 
QSLs.  (Or sooner  :-<  ).  When I'm leaving the frequency, and want to QSL, I 
send "R" with the paddle.  The F3 memory can also be used as an extra short CQ.

In fact in nearly every contest, I set up the F7 key as an S&P Exchange, i.e. 
  "TU 5NN OH".
