Hmm. We have (what we believe) is a pretty good advanced search form with a lot of filtering options. If it's not robust enough for you and you have suggestions we're more than happy to evaluate them and see if changing the search options is doable.
The latest Elevated X version was switched from Smarty to PHP based templates a few months ago. They're 100% tableless CSS and HTML and very easy to edit now in comparison to all previous CMS versions. As an example, I can personally re-theme a whole site in about 2 work days and I have zero coding skills beynd HTML and CSS.
We power a lot of very successful fetish sites but it sounds like you've already made up your mind. That's fine but I want to be sure you're ruling things out based on accurate info and not assumptions so you end up with a CMS you'll be happy using not just short term but for the next several years.
Feel free to email or Skype me anytime or we can setup a time to talk by phone.
Best of luck with the search!
