I realize this is a bit of a leap in the development, but it would be great if this could somehow tie into the Date field in a content type to get its expiration date from.

Some of my nodes have a "validity" duration and I've been looking for a way to publish them when the CCK Date says, then expire/purge them when the second date of validity is reached.

Have a look at the Schedule module then, seems much closer to what you want.

Sorry, the proper module name is Scheduler:

Problem is, it doesn't purge like Auto Expire does.

I really need it to purge, so I'm willing to take the lack of CCK Date integration for full node deletion (need to keep my db file size down for backup and management).

I think manual selection of the expiry date is beyond the scope of this module, because the automatic behavior is the whole point. If you need the combination of manual expiry dates and node deletion, then help scheduler implement this feature (#276376: Make scheduler more generic?).
