I mainly did it so that the diagram in general didn't look like a circuit board designed by a mad scientist. I got the tidy version under source control so shouldn't have to do it again. IAC it was only one or two associations that I had to adjust. Pity that the EF diagram is not as good as the SSMS version.....
