There has been a lot of noise about iThemes Builder which was just released last December 2009:

Which is partly because Builder is rumored to be the upgrade from the hugely popular Flexx theme.
However when I look at so-called "child themes":

There is nothing there I could not do in Atahualpa in half an hour (including the multiple side-bar widget areas, which can be done in Atahualpa by registering new widget areas inside an Advanced Text Widget as described in this article.
I am interested in y'all thoughts and feedbacks about this. Should I buy an iThemes Builder license and recommend it to my clients? Or should I just go with Flexx? Or forget about either one? I might have a hard time customizing Atahualpa to a Flexx look (or teaching my clients to do it). I run a web design training business and want to recommend to my customers the largest choice possible to give them a professional site. I already work extensively with Atahualpa but need to offer some choices.
Thanks for feedback on this.
