Looking great, as usual!
The only feature change I'd like to see in Aspire is to allow two rough clearance cuts before the final V-cut. Using a big bit does remove a lot of material quickly, but also leaves quite a bit of work for the V-bit to do in the flat parts that the big bit wouldn't fit into. If they allowed a second rough cut, say with a 1/4" or 3/16" bit to remove what the 1/2" bit missed you might save another 10 to 20 percent of cut time.
With a 45 degree bit, the offset to the bottom from the edge will be equal to the depth. Make an offset line, then profile inside it with smaller end mill. Use the rough cut for the 1/2" end mill to clear the rest. Now create another V-carve toolpath using that 1/4" or 3/16" bit as the rough cut but only use the V-bit part to finish off the edge carving. Much less bottom flat work left for that V-bit to do.
