Thanks! Completely fantastic feedback - I am utterly thankful to everyone for weighing in on this.
I think our gallery maker is capable of overcoming much of your opposition - but only when we add a few features, some previously planned and some from your suggestions, and the rest of the content...
On the other hand - we are definitely going to add plenty of hfs,
is helping out on that end...
We are also adding tons of gallery zips listed by model/niche, description, and publish date.
