WordPress Multisite: Automatically run importer upon creating new site

Since this is for a multisite (the same and NOT a different wordpress installation), would any of these plugins give a solution to your question?

New Blog Defaults

It is a mu-plugin and has been around for some time (I have tried it myself and works just fine). Under “Bonus Settings” you are provided with options to customize the first post, the sample page, the first comments, the links, etc. All the settings filled under the plugin’s options will be applied to all new blogs/sites created after the plugin is installed.

Default Blog

This one uses a different approach. You have to create a “default”, “sample” blog/site first. Please have a look at the screenshots. It looks pretty easy to follow. Never tried it though.
