> Can I get a WooThemes-caliber theme done for your CMS at 3 AM in the morning for $70 without talking to anyone?

I know you run a business, so for you the answer may be 'yes', but for most people running a blog: is this really a huge concern?

To borrow an upthread analogy, if I'm switching from a car to a bike, whether I'll be able to get a complete paintjob at 3am for $70 without talking to someone is not really something that's going to make the pros/cons list.

I think compatibility WooThemes & friends is, in fact, a huge concern for the majority of bloggers.
Perhaps not those with traffic problems. Hopefully by then you've found a way to direct that traffic to useful revenue or have enough cash from your business to invest.

In OP's case, he's spending money on hosting a CPU-intensive blogging engine. In theory he could spend the same money on theming an efficient one.
