[thelist] x-cart any good?

[fstorr]

Hi all

I need to implement a ecommerce environment for a music store and don't 
have time to hand code one.  It needs to be PHP+MySQL and be able to 
hold somewhere in the region of 1000-2000 stock items.  After having a 
Google around, x-cart looks pretty good, but has anyone here used it?  
If so, is it reliable, what's the quality of the code like and what's 
the support like?

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a good alternative?  I don't mind 
ponying up a bit of cash, but x-cart's ~$200 is the absolute top-end of 
the budget.

TIA

Regards

Francis
