My primary forum has 6 or 7 mods/plugins installed and it's my understaning none of them work with 4.0 and no mods/plugins will be developed or converted until 4.0 goes gold.

I've spent time with the free solutions and used them with good success too, but like you - they won't suffice for what I'm doing now.
I hear you. I tried one of the beta candidates on a single test forum update, and it was a holy disaster. Fortunately that forum doesn't get a lot of traffic so we were able to restore everything from the backup and get it back online with minimal delay.

Peace,
Gene
