Chris, As an out-of-the-box solution Ablecommerce is definitely worth it, it provides most of the functionality you would need from a middle market e-commerce package. I have used it before and had no trouble deploying e-commerce sites and even customizing them, most of the changes can be done in the "Basket" directory, and the code, even though complex is not too hard to understand.
However, when it comes to re-building the purchase process, changing key procedures, mechanisms or any other major modification you would be better off writing the thing from scratch.If you have to use AbleCommerce and you intend to do any extensive modification beyond visual improvements I would recommend either writing it on your own or getting someone like Aaron Z. Ward (former lead developer in ablecommerce) or a person of similar experience to help get your team started.

Just wondering if anyone has opinions positive or negative about using it. If anyone has done source code modifications it would be helpful to know how easy that is. We're expecting to do some of that as well to get what we want out of it.
