Well, one reason for avoiding open source solutions is security
loopholes - I prefer my own, home-grown security loopholes in preference
to sharing the same well-publicised security loopholes as everyone else. :)
Also, the UI for all the solutions I have seen to date really suck
(other than Sean Inman's excellent Mint). In my experience, I have yet
to meet a business type who understood the summary stats that the common
tools provide.
Thirdly, since these sites are database driven, the clients need more than
123 hits display.asp?c=456
By writing my own integrated tracking, I can resolve that to meaningful
names for them.

But having said all that, thanks for the heads up on this one; I'll
certainly look at it.
Thanks for the reply!
Cheers
Ian
