Is it as good as it looks, does the boil mix really impart a ton of flavor?

Not on most elements of it, no.
But I always throw a couple links of andouille sausage in there as well and that stuff soaks that zatarains/old bay right up and tastes incredible. I highly recommend it. The shrimp will pick it up alright as well.
Remember to order your cook appropriately. I think I'll probably skip the potatoes next time - I just don't get much out of them and that's always what I end up having a ton of leftovers of. I've used the little butter-buds a before and those are a little better, but boiled potatoes just kinda suck so next time I'll just toss more corn in (and put it in towards the end so it stays firm).
Damn I wish I could get crawfish up here without paying steak prices for 'em.
