Mel,
I've got the feeling that you know exactly what I'm going through.
I saw ProMatrix as well, liked it a lot, but somewhere read that it wasn't very n-tier oriented. I think that I'll end up just like you, having them both. Your advice was very welcome. This has been a big issue for me these days ... oh, well, not the biggest, though, as supporting Brazil's soccer team is almost driving me nuts !
Thanks a lot.
All the best.
Ivan
