I have similar situation, and was looking for something on the Opportunity (such as add products from price list?, based on Price List and Product associations).
Using this approach, we can instruct our sales reps (we are getting ready to transition them to CRM 4 from Goldmine) to create the opportunity, selecting the desired Price List, but not add any products.. and then create a quote, and then use 'Get Products'. They can then add (or remove) existing products, write-in products, add a discount amount/percentage, finalize the quote and then send it on it's way.
The only concern I have is whether using 'Get Products' will cycle-back through the 'Price List' selected for the Quote or from the 'Master' Quote selected when you choose 'Get Products'. This could simply be a training issue though, but I am going to search it out.
Also, using this 'Master Quote' philosophy, we don't necessarily need to build in a lot of Price Lists to Products organization, and rely on the 'Master Quotes' to be the guide. We would just need to take care in setting owner to the Master Quotes, and assuring the sales reps have enough permissions to find/select the Master Quote and not write to it. My personal impression though (on this approach) is that it is a workaround for something that should be tied to Price List and Price LIst/Product associations in the product catalog.
