Hi,
I need a site. Sticking with 5.0 has benefits since it has been out for a while and many more bugs are squashed. Plus, they are many more modules. But, 6.0 is easier to use, new features, and many 5.x modules are being upgraded.

If I stick with 5.x, and pay to have a template done, how hard (in $$ terms) is it to upgrade the template to 6.0? I will only use off-the-shelf and popular modules so I do not anticipate any problems.

I will also need to connect Drupal users with vbulletin.

what should I /what would you do?

thanks in advance,

I'm facing the same concern. I would prefer to use 6, but I'm not sure that I can afford to, given the disparity between the modules offered for 5 and 6. I'm currently searching for a larger discussion of 5 vs. 6. Perhaps if you find something it would be useful to post it back here.

Glad am not the only one. If upgrading the templates was (relatively) easy, I wouldn't mind starting with 5.7 and keep the
features at a basic level until 6 became stable. But the template will be used on about a dozen or so separate sites so
it's important. Also, CCK and many other "must have" modules are still being ported.

Bump for a discussion :)
