I am playing around with iTerm as well at the moment though.

What do you use as a terminal client on OS X?

Pros and cons of the various terminal emulations can be debated ad nauseum
and ad infinitum.

I have iTerm and iTerm2, and Terminal.app on OS X.   Both of the iTerm pass
the preliminary VTTEST suites but they both fail miserably when asked to do
the DECSWL and DECDHL tests.   Terminal.app renders both DECSWL and DECDHL
rather well.

Neither of them will do DECELR and DECSLE.   However, in their defense, none
of the unix/linux default xterm appear to do them either.   I've built xterm
from source and there are switches which will enable these.   I've not found
the ideal combination yet of all of the build switches to make xterm do all
of the things I can now accomplish with a real VT terminal or DECterminal.
