Well, that's one of the reasons why there is a seperate undo/redo for selections. I use it very often, I have it on [Alt][Shift]-Mousewheel. I think it's the standard, but I may be wrong.

It takes a while to get used to Silo, but then, modeling is very quick. Want to rough out a shape? Place cubes on the joints and bridge them in object mode. Want to cut another edge loop? Place the mouse over an edge (without selecting) and press[Shift][X], move the cut where you want it to be and then release.  Most tools don't stay active if you use them while still pressing the key, so you can [b] Bevel, [z] extrude and still tweak afterwards, without changing the tool.
