Grant, you have to remember that this forum is NOT read by X-Cart, nor is it part of their support. If you want a guaranteed answer, you need to open a ticket with X-Cart.
As far as the Extra Fields go, I gave you both of the solutions above. They both work, as I use them all of the time on many sites.
Yes, X-Cart has a steep learning curve, particularly if you don't know HTML/CSS/Smarty/PHP/MySQL. It is, however, quite customizable as is seen by the many, many custom sites and custom mods posted right here in this forum.
Have patience, take a deep breath, and have a look at the solutions once again.

The more I get into this program the more I realise that It's really just an overpriced basic run of the mill e-commerce script with holes deliberatley left in to generate more income after the initial sale.

That is simply not true. You won't find a better piece of software for this price AND "open source' ANYWHERE. If you could, you wouldn't see 10000 users here in the forum. Trust me, I have tried them all, and this one wins, hands down. Yes, there are issues. But the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
If you are unhappy with the software, use the money back guarantee and move on.
