I'd set up a demo, if you send me what the requirements are. I can probably do this in a day or two.
You seem to be fairly set on silver stripe and if thats what you want then by all means do that. If you want a demo of Drupal and a site to kick around let me know. I can even show you how to use some of the major features. I'd like you to show me silverstripe in return though.
