The file naming for one bugged the hell out of me.
It`s actual a shame, because i think a lot of what they do is great. It just feels like they stop at 80% when adding stuff.

Can you be more specific on this?
What native video player do they use? Is it HTML5 & iDevice compatible?
I have modified the video player for our own custom video galleries (to JPlayer for the HTML5 capability) so I know this isn't a terribly hard fix, but it's possible their code makes things more difficult than it has to be.
And what do you mean by "file naming"?
One of my concerns about any CMS is that it will force a site into their cookie-cutter mode of organization... my vintage paysite has some unconventional setups (sections for audio files and other downloads, a division of photo & art galleries, 'articles' split apart from 'stories', etc), I'd hate find most of that constrained.

The single site pricing can't be beat. In general some of the other options have pricing that is stuck back in 2008 and unless you are running a program it doesn't work out.

That's kinda been what I've found unfortunately - CMS options jump from about $300 for the "deluxe" aWiz setup to Elevated X or MAS which are
MUCH higher, there's little middle ground there. For a network of paysites the latter makes decent sense at those prices I guess, but for a small-scale single site like mine the ROI is just far far worse by nature. If they offered a reasonable single-site license I'd probably be all over it, however I'm guessing small time paysite webmasters like me are few & far between these days...
