Membership website options, part 2

I love the Internet. (I know, I know... "paging Captain Obvious".)

Via a link from a link from a link, I found a great resource called Web Developers (I know, zzzzzzzz — but the uninspired title belies some good writing). The CMS (Content Management System) category of posts helped me uncover some products to compare to Wild Apricot. I'm particularly interested in Drupal, which blogger Lockergnome (a.k.a. Scott Buresh of Medium Blue) covers pretty thoroughly and seems to like.

So, yesterday I tried to set up a trial account with Bryght, a hosted service based on the Drupal platform. Something went south during the registration process and I'm waiting for support (which was responsive and is working on the issue) to let me know when I can start playing with the system.

As long as that initial hiccup doesn't turn into a deal-breaker, I figure the decision breaks down like this:

Wild Apricot
Pro - donation module; email-your-members module; event-reg module; faster set-up
Con - price; limited number of modules

Bryght
Pro - significantly broader selection of content and community modules; low price
Con - I would need a non-integrated solution to handle the 'pros' WA brings to the table

Are Wild Apricot's donation and event systems worth (up to) $200/month; or do low price ($20/month) and broader content modules tip the scales? With Bryght, I would probably have to use a service like Network for Good to take donations, and I'd have to manage email marketing with yet another service.

I'll let you know where I land!
