I'm using BlazeDS and AMF for quite a year now, and for me is much more attractive, because your flex side is completely OO, instead of xml/JSON/WS parsing related with E4X. Performance is a good argument too, but I believe for Appfuse, everything must be kept flexible. Not that would be so difficult to implement both as options as well, because the AMF + BlazeDS would use just the Service layer. The bottom part - are you thinking on doing something like "scaffolding" in Flex Client as well? Cheers
