Rather than have a chunk of code for each data source, to do the same thing to modelA, modelB, modelC, etc I just use execute to make thisModel=modelA within a loop and then act on each in turn.

Well, not to me, it doesn't. ;-)
In a loop like this, when I want clarity, I usually do something like
this. Is this what you mean?
FOR j=0,n DO BEGIN
thisModel = theModels[j]
DoSomethingWith, thisModel
....
ENDFOR
