Not to say that this isn't a good deal, because it really is but I wrote a Perl script for an old customer now friend of mine that:

1. FTPs in to a server.
2. Uploads the WP files.
3. Allows selection of a theme to use based on the value of a dropdown.
4. Creates a wp-config.php.
5. Sets permissions.
6. Provides a link to click to begin the setup process.

Since it's server to server, the upload process is ridiculously fast too.

I hope you're using a script like this. It would make your job infinitely easier. The script could be extended to allow you to install add-ons from a predetermined list too. I've considered making this available to webmasters but I can't think of how I would gain anything from it.
