@gulfporter, my personal preference is to not bake cheesecake in a water bath. I enjoy the slight browning and drier, slightly lighter texture that results from a straight bake. Your cheesecake is more likely to develop cracks with this method, but if food snobs are coming to dinner, I cover those up with a fruit topping.
