I finally got around to kegging my other half of the BB clone last night. This one was with the 1056 yeast. Definitely has more body than the half with Danstar Nottingham so if you use the Nottingham, account for the extra attenuation you'll get. Personally I think I'll enjoy this half a little better since the fuller body will balance the bitterness better and was more of what I had in mind. The other half (Danstar) seems a lot thinner, but also seems to go down easier. In any event, it was a good experiment and the first time I've used Nottingham.

Collected 3 jars of 1056 yeast by taking the cooled water I boiled yesterday, adding it to the empty carboy, and refilling my mason jars.
