Problem is, he already has SOBI2 installed and operating for a different purpose on the site. We hoped to avoid having two installations of it since it is a pain to update a SOBI2 Clone.
We'd like something else to handle the merchant showcase (other than SOBI2, and CB would be good for it), but he needs logins for reviewers and merchants. SOBI2 is being used as a product listing for the merchants already.
If we use 2 installs of SOBI2, we cannot cross link a product to a merchant. If we use CB and SOBI2, we can do that through the profile plugin.
No matter how many features you can supply out of the box, they always want a twist on it!
