yes, if they are the same material (i mean diffuse, normals, brightness, speculars, shiny etc..), then the new material system will be great for you. With the new system if the models reference the same material you can edit once and all other usages of that material will update.

If the model does not use the same material, then the new version of skyline will allow you to assign it and bake it back to the original mesh.

Currently you have to do this to each material you want it to have the same scale. :)
