I've already used all of the Dark*Matter stuff from the hardbacks, accessories and the Dungeon magazines. I have all of the Alternity stuff - bought them when they were on the shelf. The new book is an conversion of the old book. No NEW data. Only thing I haven't sent them on is Star*Drive material, which is smaller set than the D*M stuff.
For me, d20 Modern isn't as easy to design as D&D. Can't just send the group through the forest and drop in a bunch of orcs. Okay, I can send them through the city and drop in a street gang. But somehow, it just isn't the same. There is no face-to-face combat, all hiding behind corners (for half-cover) and shooting long-range. That single combat alone takes over an hour to resolve.
Am I being picky here? I've taking a few of the Shackled City scenarios from Dungeon and converted them into d20 Modern. But then it goes off into planar stuff which is more difficult to convert. I've tried the Adventure Generators from Modern Dispatch. Came up with a couple half-bottom scenarios, but nothing to hoop-n-hollar about.
