Google Planner Sucks as a KW research tool

First off I'm no expert at KW research but I have used the keyword tool for years and have keyword data for a particular niche that I have accumulated over the years.

I tried getting keywords for that niche from GP and it falls flat. Keywords collected from GKT one month before GP was implemented gave some great keyword ideas for traffic generation. One month later GP cannot produce any of those keyword ideas no matter how I try to filter or configure the search. The relevant keywords that I got a month before would just not show up.

I would then hand pick one of the keywords that I had from GKT and then use it in the planner and BOOM, GP gives me the traffic data for that keyword which it couldn't come up with without me manually putting it in.

For instance i would put house in GKT.... and it might suggest houses which has even more traffic than house. GP would not suggest houses as a good keyword idea but when i type it in manually it would show me that houses indeed has more traffic than house. I consider that a downgrade from GKT.

Anyone else having similar experiences?
