Hi Andy, Be wise and dig around the Internet to find answers to your questions and don't turn to this list since they won't offer you a non-biased answers. For a starter go to theserverside.com where recently a discussion was held on Tapestry. The link is: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=48743
Personally, I won't advise you to go with Tapestry due to it's bad record on backward compatibility.
