You may want to give this world a different name. Springville is the very first custom world uploaded at MTS and a lot of people remember that name. And without saying too much, you may not want to be associated with that.
I also love the farming area, and like generally the variations in the terrain.
I totally understand your problem about using lots from various places. I'm just like you, having horded so many nice lots and just wanting to plop them down in a custom world. For me personally, finished lots are the least concern and I couldn't use most of the worlds out there as it is any way even after bulldozing them (sub-neighborhood setup, lot sizes, deco, etc.). So a world with reasonable build-up of terrain forming, terrain painting, forestation, road network, spawners, etc., and uploaded with CAW files is what I'm looking for.
For example, for your world, I'd like to flatten down the biggest mountainous area and develop that into another sub-hood with MOAR lots, change the road texture, get rid of the space shuttle and some other decos, and most importantly change the lot sizes to fit my needs.

The pics so far are impressive, so yes, I would love to try this world out. I see lots by the shores, wonder if they are more expensive and do they have the "beautiful vista" buff? All the worlds I have downloaded have the expensive areas, but no BV buff.

The space shuttle looks totally out of place on such a dinky little island, if you want to have the rabbit hole I suggest you bury it and design a much smaller building that will blend in better.
Or use those nifty rabbit hole signs from modthesims2. In my custom neighborhood I'm currently playing, I've rebuilt and themed all my rabbitholes(ie, the military has a barracks, shower area, and gym in addition to the main office(where the actual rabbithole is located). I think it helps immersion, and if you're going to make a custom world, why not go all the way?
As for what kinds of lots to include pre-built, I would build a few residential lots, but leave the majority blank for people to populate on their own. It's nice to have the option to just toss a family in a house if you're too lazy to build your own, but at the same time you need lots of space to put down your own favorite lots, or build your own. I would definitely build all community lots, though.

It's actually not that bad. It seems like an interesting neighborhood. The only thing I'm not too fond of are the mountain peeks. I would have liked it better if it were smoother. Anyone agree?

The Vista buff is independent of the expensitivity of a lot. Lot prices are scaled based on the size of the lot, and an additional surcharge can be added during create-a-crap, but this value is independent of Vistaness.
