All,

Value is the default property of the Range object. Item is the default
property of the Cells property which returns a Range object. That's why
Range("A1") = Range("a1").Value is True and Cells(1,2) = Cells.Item(1,2) is
True. There is no cell object.

I'm curious why omitting the Value property would be more efficient. I
would think the opposite. If I don't include it, the VBA has to figure out
what type of object I'm using, look up its default property and process from
there. If I don't omit it, there's no lookup. I don't have any real
evidence of this, it's just what I think would happen.

FWIW, I also include every default property. But I'm willing to learn.

Each object has a default property, and for cell objects, it's ".Value".
I wouldn't trust myself to remember the default property of every
object, but if you know one for sure, you can safely omit it. In fact,
doing so may make the code more efficient.
