I need a change from infusion, the thought of it is daunting to me. And I dread the trimming of mass excess material (because laying fabric perfectly matched in size is just asking for trouble imo). I also get anxiety attacks   about the reinforcement stack shifting during handling or loose fibers on the cosmetic side etc etc... I'm pretty obsessive about bridging, I wouldn't foresee that as a stumbling block for me. 



If you are paranoid now, wait till you use prepreg! I really like the stuff and enjoy working with it. If you are careful then you can offset some of the additional cost of the stuff as you don't have so much waste if you nest the pattern cut outs propperly.

Depending on the matrix, some require debaulking under vacuum only for x hours/mins (usually on datasheet) and others require an elevated cure during the debaulk, again see the materials datasheet. The idea is that you consolidate the ply's in stages to minimise voids, bridging and thickness change during final cure plus you can control the resin ratio a bit more closely by bleeding some out if required
