Brian,
You are correct that the reports off the store admin menu are summary reports.  I use those reports all the time in my business for summary sales figures.  When you say they are little value you mean they are little value for questions you are trying to answer that require detail transaction level data, most likely customer service type questions.  If you are a business owner or executive and your store is doing any kind of volume you will want summary reports to gauge sales and see how your business is doing.   I agree there are times when you need transaction level reports for customer service questions and in those cases you can view all the detail data from the manage order screen off the store admin menu.  That being said It would be nice to have a drill down feature for some of the summary reports like daily sales, monthly sales, top customers, etc and I will add your request to the feature enhancement request list.  As an alternate solution you can use crystal reports to develop any reports that your business requires or if you email sales@smith-consulting.com we can build a custom report into the cart for you.  Thanks for the feedback!.
