Hey James:
   Whether it's trendy or not, it seems to me that it's a functional
and expandable system.  Most importantly, it's an improvement on our
current site.
   As Jay pointed out, it doesn't need to have all the bells and 
whistles built in at the get-go.  Rather, it can be dynamically adjusted
to fit our needs.
   In its minimal form (and please correct me if I'm wrong, Jay), I
don't imagine it has a whole lot in the way of unnecessary features.
   And, most importantly, it's a marked improvement.
