Aye, thank you. These indeed sound like some hugely complex systems. 
They almost have the same website; Chef looks a little bit nicer or more 
accessible,

But I think you're absolutely right that the investment probably 
wouldn't pay off for a long time unless you were actually managing a 
business (and a bigger one at that?).

But thanks for the answers!

I just wonder if there are any smaller, more down to earth systems?
