I like the Inkscape mockup. Looks professional and has all the content at a place thats very easy to see. The icons help too for those that dont know english and cant be bothered switching to their language translation. Songbird one give me the idea of using some cool ajax for the icons. Since EFL and all can do cool animations, maybe something neat like that could make its way into the website?
