Yeah, it's a hard balance to strike.  Having one tool to do it all
makes training and support simpler and easier.  But... if that tool
can't do it all as well as a specific tool, then maybe it's not a good
tradeoff to make.

I don't have a good answer, but in some cases just pure $$$ costs
argues against going with more than one tool.  Dunno...

But getting back to the root cause, I think going with smaller
datastores is the best track here.
