I believe both of them have a certain amount of content management functionality, although I don't really see either of them as full-fledged cms. I've recently been thinking about a joint venture with Able Commerce, although I haven't presented them with the proposal yet. It's probably not quite what you have in mind, but if you're not looking specifically for a shopping cart ( or you're willing to do some customization to get there ), you can take a look at Tapestry on my site. It's liable to give you more robust control over the site layout and formatting ( and it separates content from format, including elements such as html tables, etc. which can not be adequately substituted with css in most cases ), although there isn't a shopping cart add-on component yet. The current version priced somewhere between SiteDirector and ABC. I plan to develop a shopping cart for Tapestry (or have one developed), although I don't have any time frames yet. At the moment I'm working on a new release of the core application to better support CF MX, make some minor improvements to the existing features ( easier installation, more gracefull error messages, cleaning up a couple bottlenecks ), and hopefully support Linux, Solaris and Oracle -- this last likely being the largest hurdle. Again, no timeframe yet, I'm still too early in the development cycle to provide a realistic projection.
