Automated cross-browser visual inspection

Question

We're looking for a tool that would allow us to script and run tests across multiple browsers including Chrome, FF 3,4, IE 6,7,8 and during the running allow a human to visually inspect each page / action. This must support javascript so a simple browsershots approach will not work. Something like Selenium Grid may work but I haven't seen anything that would act like a console so that a human could visually inspect each test step. Ideally the answer to this question would be a tool that runs a scripted front-end test and displays those tests on each browser in a grid so that a human could visually inspect the look of each page while the test was testing the html content.

How about Cucumber Sauce?

I've not tried it purely because I do not need to run tests in parallel across multiple browsers or headless. However, I am using Cucumber BDD for almost all my web application testing. Cucumber Sauce looks like it might have solved the parallelism problem so it might work for you.

How about Telerik Test Studio http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools.aspx? It can do FF 3 & 4, IE7, 8, 9 (but not IE6), Chrome and Safari. It literally hooks into the browser and drives it as if a real person was sitting there clicking things and typing text.
