Where we attended Sat. PM, they were beginning a new format we were really blessed by (not that it's 'for us', but we got blessed on the 'rebound' since God really was, I believe =).
They are having a beginning worship set (about 5-6 uninterupted songs), then a condensed version of the weekend message (about 20 min. instead of 40 for Sunday AM), ending with more worship (4-5 more songs) and communion. It was a great time of 'connecting with the Lord' both individually and corporately.
They had a full band (minus keyboards though), but use floor monitors instead of 'in-ears'. I don't know if that's a budget issue for them, but personally I'd prefer 'open ears' for the same reasons you noted (having more a feel of worshiping with the PEOPLE rather than just with the team).
Yeah, I know the 'extended' worship can create 'logistical' problems, but I often wonder if God's that into 'logistics'(Is. 55:8) or what is or isn't comfortable and convenient for us (Jer. 29:13).
