d_rek, if you're working with a "pretty talented developer", shouldn't shopping cart system be more or less his area?
I've checked out the source code on both of those and a hole hell of a lot more e-commerce packages. From what I could gather, adding features that aren't included, customizing their templates and shit like that is a real pain in the ass. Regardless of what you go with, you or the developer are going to have to sift through tons of files and figure out their system. There's no way around that.
I've been developing my own e-commerce system based on Kohana because I can't be bothered to strip down another all in one e-commerce package just to find out I hate it. That's not really an option without a good bit php experience though.
That doesn't really answer your question to which is better, but from experience I can tell you that customizing and adding features to all in one e-commerce is almost always a pain. Which reinforces my initial statement....Why isn't the developer handling this?
