Have you read the Vue 5 Infinite announcement? Maybe this is another option in your thoughts. It is announced to come out sooner or later (originally end of 2004) so this may have some features you are interested in. Especially the option to grow with your needs and start with a basic version to add other things later. Ok, this would speak for Vue 5 as a start. I am sure E-on will fix the problems with 5 Esprit as they have fixed the issues in 4 d'Esprit as well.

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.
