The reason I started going in this direction is I have dynamic options for each product.
Each product may have it's own set of options color/size/accessories. Plus each option will possibly modify the price and shipping. The data was getting so complex I was going to start storing the shopping cart information in a database rather then session variables. Then I decided this would be a perfect time to learn how CF works with XML. You are right. I don't see any major advantage over using a structure. Call it a learning experience.
