Hey Graham, I would say yes to both.
Mezzanine gives a lot of features out of the box that make developer
and website administrator lives easier and doesn't prevent you from
doing anything that you could normally do with Django. In some ways
you could think of it as a super set of Django. At this point in my
development career, when I'm working on a Django site I default to
starting with Mezzanine and would need a compelling reason not to,
rather than the other way around.
I'm incredibly biased in favor of Mezzanine so take that all with a
grain of salt ;)

Looking at that list it would seem to be a 'no-brainer' for many
clients to choose it over straight Django?
For a significant numbers of sites the development *cost* and
*time* will be lower using Mezzanine over Django?

I think that statement doesn't refer to any specific example, but
instead it refers to Mezzanine as a whole.
It makes the most sense when you think about the task a developer
has at hand when they first set out to build a content managed
website with Django. Django gives you all the plumbing to build
this, but gives you nothing actually built out of the box in
terms of website features, therefore inherently being entirely
unopinionated.
With Mezzanine you actually have a lot of the functionality built
from the start that websites need (and in some cases, *all* the
features needed) - navigation structure, blog, forms, accounts,
galleries, file management, etc (those are your examples if you
really want them).
Everything it provides is an opinion on how these things should
be built *in the context of Django*. The developer building a
content managed website with Django no longer needs to make a
decision on whether they should source these components from
libraries or build them themselves, and often painfully, how
they'll all glue together - this is all done for you, inherently
in an opinionated way.

Hello everyone
I am going to talk about Mezzanine to the Python User Group
here in Auckland (New Zealand) and I have been preparing my
slides by looking at Stephen's PyCon APAC talk in Taiwan.
http://blog.jupo.org/2014/08/21/pycon-apac-keynote-mezzanine/
In it he says 'Mezzanine is opinionated - it makes choices
for you' 52 mins and 37 secs in
Does anyone have an example of that?
TIA
Graham
