It's certainly tempting me. I have a setup to make easy lagers and thought maybe I'd take a swing at a classis American Pilsner, and this seems like a good yeast to get things going.

Wyeast 2247-PC European Lager Yeast
Beer Styles: German Pilsner, Bohemian Pilsner, Classic American Pilsner, Munich Helles, Dortmunder Export
Profile: This strain exhibits a very clean and dry flavor profile often found in aggressively hopped lagers. Produces mild aromatics and slight sulfur notes typical of classic pilsners. This yeast is a good attenuator resulting in beers with a
distinctively crisp finish.

Alc. Tolerance 10% ABV
Flocculation low
Attenuation 73-77%
Temp. Range 46-56°F (8-13°C)
 
Not that one, but I did use one of the others in this Fall's Private Collection, the Hella-Bock yeast. It fermented out in 4 days, now I'm in the 2-week secondary phase before lagering begins.
