SM & iCloud syncing events and tasks

So I'm using SM's sync preferences to link SM's tasks to iCloud and thereby able to see these tasks in my iPhone's task app (2Do) along with all my other non-project tasks.  It works ok.  It would be better if I didn't have to narrow cast my project management tasks to a single Stuidometry calendar, but it's better than no link at all.

But, the current SM sync system doesn't allow for tasks and events to be synced to iCloud.  This is a problem.  The problem arises because it forces a less than expected situation of having to choose either to sync my events or sync my tasks, since SM can't sync to more than one iCloud calendar at a time.

Here is what I suggest...

Have SM sync all logs (notes, meetings, emails, phone calls.) sync to a single SM events iCloud calendar and have SM's tasks sync to a single iCloud reminder calendar.  Even if it means in the short-term, limiting the number of log types that can be created by the user, for programming reasons, setting up a 'funnel SM's logs' to a single, iCloud, user named, iCloud events calendar, and 'funeral SM's tasks to a single, iCloud, user named, iCloud reminders calendar, such a design would provide a well balanced alternative until the update UI version is launched.

Of course, the nice thing about being a user and not an engineer is that I blissfully have no understanding of  the engineering headaches it may cause.  :)

Anyway, looking forward to any SM or SMT updates.
