Randy, I second that sentiment! Flex kicks ass! I am still struggling with the 100% Flex site structure. Will it be too much out of the gate? Will users get turned off everytime they see a site using flash/flex, because so many developers are going to use it when there was no need for it? These are the unknowns. I think your site is a good example of having a Full Flex solution. Little site content, lots of data centric needs (eCommerce). Oh, the struggles of a web application developer.
