Is 4.1.11 still available?? If so and they continue on that path, then can they justify CDSEO, Marketing Manager Pro, One Page Checkout, Template etc., at ~$1k knowing that these things are likely not compatible with 4.2... ala, 'dead-end purchase'. Not to mention the customization time.

Chill dude. The whole reason to use the new 4.2 is that it is less reliant on third party apps, which quite frankly have turned into a nightmare of late with little developers just vanishing leaving all user hanging etc....

4.2 has the SEO thing built in now, so no need to use the third party apps, and take it form someone who has tried many add ons to Xcart, I can not wait to rebuild my sites n the new 4.2 and stop using third party apps, it makes future upgrades much easier etc...

Give them time they probably will.......
