Cool, there's plenty of room for the niche. As a developer, I knew I wanted the features in CF7, but I had to keep in mind that I didn't have them yesterday, and if I had them tomorrow, I couldn't implement them. So until my code is ready to go, I'm not in a rush. I'll use it eventually, but all I needed was a commitment that my host was going to upgrade, and I am good to go.
Personally, the app I am working on is an extranet / intranet / extension to the business process, so I need some weight.

I tend to cater to small business accounts and developers, which is why the quotas are set the way they are. I have only one site on my whole system that's nudging the quota limits (which is another reason why I can be flexible about space and bandwidth - no one's using all the space they've been allocated). But if anyone wants bigger than that, hell I can work out a deal!
