can't use a cloning tool for multisite

[jhnpldng]

No one's going to pay membership fees for an absolutely blank fresh install of wp with 2015 theme and no plugins. It needs to be set up with all the goodies. This requires cloning for the most part. Not all plugins can be mu-plugins and that wouldn't help with the settings on these plugins anyway. I've tried all the cloning tools that have a "set as default blog to be cloned" setting and either get white screen of death or a message saying "You will be reclaiming your site" even though I'm using a fresh email that's never registered or had a site. I've got the multisite addons and everything is set up. Makes new blank blogs by itself without a problem but there needs to be some added value to them.
