Good stuff here in this old thread. Hope it's not against forum etiquette to revive old relevant threads.

I have blown in cellulose over my attic bats with great results. Also blew it in several of my rental houses with equal success. Love the stuff.

One problem I encountered...the loose stuff will blow lightly over time in the attic and clog the soffit vents and block airflow. I use a leaf blower and clean them out a couple of times a year. No need to crawl in the attic. just blow them clean from the outside in. It definitely helps keep the airflow unencumbered.

I also installed solar screens on all of my East, South, and West facing windows. These also lowered the room temps during the heat of the summer. They can be removed during the winter if desired.
