I know this was an old question, but I'm just catching up. My boss & co-workers are SEO wizards. They allowed me to put our SES URLs to death last year. We are still hitting the top in Google for our target keywords. (enter matte satin bridesmaid dress in google.com or google.co.uk and see how many first page hits have the word "dessy" in the URL ... that's me)
All my sites now have URLs that are USER friendly. The page content is still carefully managed for SEO, but the"?" and "&" characters in the URL just don't seem to matter for SEO anymore.
