Maybe a little bit off-topic: May I ask what are your main reasons to settle exclusively on Drupal? I recently talked with a friend of mine who had his main business site (a large German music platform & community) recently relaunched based on Drupal. Which turned out to be significantly harder and tedious than expected, even though the agency claims to have rock solid experience with Drupal. As far as I can recall, some of the harder challenges during the relaunch seemed to be rooted in Drupal's architecture, e.g. customisation of and interfacing between different required modules, whilst throwing out all the other stuff which was superfluous for the purpose.
Have you considered other possible platform-building alternatives like e.g. Pinax (based on Django) or elgg, which might carry somehow less cruft & co. and hence be possibly easier to build/configure and maintain? (Sorry if I am a little bit late with those remarks or overlooked an earlier discussion on this subject.)
