Yea, I eventually came to a somewhat similar conclusion. I suppose the question is now, what is the best way for translating a set of fit parameters and an ANOVA table into precision/significance terms to make it easy to mix with other calculations?

The summary report provided by Regress gives you estimates of the uncertainty in each of the fitted parameters.
