Well, I wouldn't trust a complete new HFS+ implementation designed and implemented from scratch. It'll have bugs, it will require ongoing maintenace, so you'll have to add the cost for that too. If I were you I'd reconsider using CIFS or alternatively Netatalk/AFP which tends to perfom a lot better then CIFS with Macs.
