That would seem to save alot of coding. I am glad you came to that conclusion by yourself ;) You can process the form values right after your $form->validate() and just before your header('Location'). But if you really need to pass them from form 1 to form 2, use HTML_QuickForm_Controller because as you said, "that would save a lot of coding" and is also a much safer way to handle your situation.
