Charles, LCDS brings Flex applications to a new level of data centric applications. LCDS is a super-set of BlazeDS, everything it's in Blaze is also available in LCDS. LCDS does however contain a Data Management service which relies on Messaging to keep all your clients connected to the same data in sync. Other key features is support for RTMP and NIO endpoints that allow you to support 1000+ concurrent users per server when BlazeDS doesn't support more than a few hundreds. I know that Farata System guys did add support for NIO but don't know if they provided it publicly and free of charge.
