Mach-II and Model-Glue are both Implicit Invocation architectures. Having played with both extensively (with projects in both) I personally like Model-Glue, especially Unity.
I recently did a small contract job, a football pool application that a local mortgage broker wanted to run for his friends and his clients. 8 to ten screens in all, including administration, 4 database tables with a lot of relationships, and a tight deadline. It took me longer to figure a few things out (with reactor) than it did to write the actual application, but I was approaching it as a paid learning experience from the start. All in all it took a little over four hours of work, mostly in my event, scaffold, and reactor object definitions, and a small bit of stylesheet work and modifications to auto generated templates (plus three or four custom methods within the controller and gateway CFCs). From a project architecture point of view it definitely forces you to plan out your applications in advance, but also provides enough flexibility to accommodate changes. Having the framework build an extendable processing foundation for you (all of your db CRUD, plus views/events for them) saves a lot of time (and saves more if you only turn on debug when you need it.) I really enjoy it, and will definitely continue using it.
