I like my development environment and hosting site to come from a staff of
dedicated people who can offer support on demand and are determined to
produce a product with LOTS of QA behind it. I think this is probably the
only time I don't want open source code driving my effort. Just my
opinion.  I also think the money spent would be worth the time gained from
NOT having to read through the source to install and configure it.
