Darn that's a lot of cutting. I'm kind of in that stage right now too. I used the foil backed board though, it was the same price as pink board but a little higher R value and cuts like butter with a pocket knife. Still takes a lot of time though.
Oh yeah, no trouble cutting the stuff but measuring each piece takes the time. What you can't see in the oictures above are the gussets on eaach end of every rafter and the original pieces of 1/4" plywood gussets that were nailed, midspan, to the rafters. All of that needed to be cut around to install the foam board. I saw that on your Sunlte, you've installed new, solid rafters. That should make for a very solid roof and allow easier installation of the foam board.
Today, I jacked the roof up around the shower stall and installed a 4 mil. poly vapor barrier. In this picture, I've removed the jacking posts to get everything stapled.
I took some measurements while I had the stall in situ because I am contemplating stapling some 1/4" fan fold foam board to the ceiling and the shower stall is too high (or the roof too low) to accomodate that. I may forgo that for the ceiling because the headroom is only 6'3" and I'm 6'2" so adding another 1/4" may be a cap-scraper. I'll sleep on it.
