If you're talking about a canned CMS software package, I have never encountered one in the $500 range that did anything worth doing. > 3) Am I barking up the wrong tree completely > or is a cms our ideal solution? Sounds like you've already got some level of home-built CMS. Probably best to continue that direction unless you have a serious budget. > I thought about making our own and have > ordered 'Real-World ASP.NET: Building a > CMS' but a not sure if it's worth the effort > so to speak.

That is a too good price, I'd suspect the product probably introduces more problems than it solves, but I have never used it so that is just a first impression based on clicking around their site, from someone who tends to prefer building to buying. Unfortunately, in my experience you either need (a) time to build it yourself or (b) money and time to buy something and make it work for you. Content management is generally not something to enter into lightly. Then again, at some point it makes business sense if you have alot of content and alot of people trying to collaboratively work with that content. Whatever you do, don't expect it to be instant: even if that's the greatest CMS in the world you will still have to integrate it with your workflow.
