Need Feedback - Market Theme vs Shopp Plugin?

Okay…. back… after a nice conversation with my coder… and I've got a very important question for anyone here… especially Eli…

How does Market Theme compare with the Ingenesis Shopp Plugin? What are the differences, which one is better and why?

These two seem to be the best choices for what I'm trying to accomplish… and at the moment… Market Theme looks like it may be more customizable… need feedback though… and since I can't access the download section without having an account, I don't know what features and add-ons have been developed for Market Theme that makes it rock harder than Shopp Plugin… if there's anybody out there who knows these two products well… you'll be happy to know… I'm open to anything that makes me more of a clever little bastid… so fire away! Cool

Cheers!

I haven't used the "Shopp" plugin, so I can't really offer much personally. 

Anybody else want to chime in?

They didn't seem to have a live demo on their website, but I can tell you one major difference is that Shopp is a plugin, while Market is a theme. 

So while the Market theme is an all-inclusive solution, I imagine that with Shopp you'll have to integrate it into your existing theme.  Again, I haven't used it but I would expect that since it's a plugin, you'll have to do some code editing of the .php files of your theme, so that it calls certain functions and adds various display values.

Depending on your code programming skills, it may be a challenge or it may be relatively easy.  (That's sort of a subjective topic, and I can't really offer much experience on this.)

Anyone want to offer any feedback on their experience with Market?

Thanks for the fast reply… I'm looking foward to hearing from others here on the forums…

Also… thank you for pointing out the distinction that Shopp is a plugin…

Just curious… without access to the "downloads" sections list of add-ons here on your site… do you have a static list that I can look over to see what add-ons you offer? Just trying to do the best comparison of features that I can before I make the decision to purchase one or the other… don't want to get on the other side of the purchase and discover that there are features I wish were there… (things like "wish list," "cross promotions," "upsells," etc.)

Looking forward to hearing what others have to say about a comparison between Market Theme and Shopp… and… as an inescapable result… becoming more of a clever little bastid !!! Cool

Cheers…
