Easier and more accurate testing of personalisation variables
Testing a personalisation variable is currently a very slow process, and it can be nearly impossible to test all of the variations within a personalisation variable using the current process.
My solution is that when you're in the email editor, you can select which Contact you would like to send the test on behalf of. This would test the personalisation variables for that specific real life contact, but would only send the test to my email address. This means you could quickly test a range of contacts and see if the data is being synced in properly and in real time.
This is now complete :) Check out https://autopilotdev.tumblr.com/post/156596638198/update-january-31-2016 for more.

I agree, this is a feature in some other marketing automation tools that is very helpful when storing associated, img paths as strings at the contact level for say...a Sales Person's (or Lead Owner's) face to be used in a highly targeted, personalized campaign.
