There is nothing wrong with a decision based on cosmetics...

In comparison with his notes I have found;
1) and 2) about the same.
3) Clearly CB8 is better.
4) Same as CB8 analysis.
5) Is NOT supported in CB8 although it seems CA will NOT be usable
on other servers. Although as Chris points out it is fun to use.

I also like being able to get online games with CB8 and IMO the
support provided is extensive, especially online. Also since the
majority of the engines I own are CB they can easily be run in what
is the most familiar and likely the best interface.
