FX2themebase vs Flexibility 4

Hello,
I'm looking at building a new site using Gallery and Blog and am interested in exploring the use of these packages as a starting point. Could anyone shed some light on the differences between the two and advatages/disadvantages of using them?

thanks

I liked the FX2themebase, but Flexibility uses Articles, which I do not like at all. Articles does all kind of things "for" you, whether you want them or not.

Thanks for the response Susan,

I guess the problem I have with FX2 is that it is Beta and does not appear to include any Gallery component.
I am looking at porting a Wordpress theme and thought that perhaps using one of these packages may make it easier.
