http://www.keystonehomebrew.com/2010/12/secondary-fermentation-pros-and-cons/ Check out this link. It talks a little about the pros and cons of using a secondary fermenter. As for another technique, instead of transfering the beer into secondary, couldn't we just siphon the trub out of the primary and leave the beer there?

Dude, totally agreed. We stopped doing a secondary for our short-term ales; we just go straight to the keg and dry hop there if need be. I think if we do a long-term ale like a barley wine, we might do a secondary, but then again, maybe we'll just buy another keg!
