Hi. I am looking at have an e-learning site built and I have been advised by friends to go with Drupal. I have a quote already. At the last minute someone else has suggested I look at Moodle. I've done that and played with it a bit. I can certainly see the benefits but to me it seems more complex to learn and it certainly doesn't look anywhere near as good as Drupal. Can anyone here help me decide? Is Drupal good for an on line subscriber based (payment) e learning (video tutorials) site? Thanks! (PS are there any egs you could point me in the direction of?)

I think drupal is ideal for such a site (checkout the ubercart and swftools modules), but then you're asking on drupal.org, lol.
Haha yes I know I'm asking on
Haha yes I know I'm asking on Drupal.org so I kind of expect people to support Drupal over moodle! :)
It would be great to see some examples of sites that have used it for e-learning.
It's just that in the back of my mind I'm worried moodle is the more obvious one to use?

I'm not sure I see it as e-learning necessarily (at least as you've described it). If it's just pay access to videos it doesn't matter what the content of the video is. When I think of e-learning I think more along the lines of class registrations, teachers, students, exams, etc. I think that's where moodle might be more appropriate.
It depends on how e-learning
It depends on how e-learning you want to have. If you want have education environment, like WorldFallz already mentioned class registrations, exams, quizes, student scores, you might go for Moodle since it has been developed for that purposes.
You also might wanna take a look at Moodle Integration Module - http://drupal.org/project/moodle if you plan to use Drupal and Moodle together.
