We have a few threads on this subject, but AFAIK, I haven't seen a poll for it yet.
I don't think the temperature raise is to make a difference in potential saturation/supersaturation. I think its more of a viscosity thing - like heating your engine before you change the oil.
The more I read about BIAB, the more it makes me want to try it when I make the venture into all grain brewing.
Speaking as a man on a budget and limited space in the kitchen, BIAB is the way to go! All you need is a bag, a boil kettle and some pots you have in your kitchen. Hardly any money spent on additional equipment!
Space in my kitchen is at a premium too, so I've been eyeballing a good 10 gallon boil kettle with ball valve, a grain bag, immersion wort chiller and a 220,000 BTU propane burner stand over at my LHBS. Thinking of putting together some sort of a BIAB stand based off the designs I've seen posted here on the forums.

Adventures in Homebrewing? That's where I bought my 220,000 btu burner and it works great.
I had a ladder and I just lift the bag using a pulley. I bought the wilser bag system.
I just use my autosiphon and put the wort into the fermentor outside and have a 'simple' kettle. I bought a 12.5 gallon concord off of ebay for $80.
