I read the cachepage most of the time, The exception would be a LONG page with little to do with the cache, then the short description is about as far as I get. We cache with the laptop and an internet connection so we have the latest info in the field.
I personally don't care if GC ever has a new cache type, I an an icon junky and the numbered multi cache sounded fun to me. I really not a big fan of multis in the first place.
