PMFJI-
maybe I don't understand the problem, but couldn't you get away from session vars altogether by implementing a generic session class that stores all this stuff for you in data files? What could this 3rd party solution do that you couldn't write yourself?

It's only $249 and there is a downloadable eval version available. I haven't used it myself, but it might help you out.
