Actually we use nested models with layers and have had good results (with a couple minor fixes here and there in QFEs though) in 2012, and decent but with some pipeline patching in 2011. Nested references are a recipe for disaster, but one deep models under the reference model actually, more often than not, save your arse and allow for better filtering and customization of the deltas than one gimongous one where you'll need to save everything together for geo, deformers, animation controls and additional data.
