My opinion is that this can be solved by some sort of "do not start the 
VM and open VM details for fine tuning" option. I am not sure where I've 
seen this (VMWare ESX maybe?) but the last page of the wizard contained 
checkboxes like "start machine now" and "edit VM details after closing 
the wizard". With reasonable default values you can satisfy both 
advanced user and a "just to be done" user in a straight-forward way.
