Actually, your comment made me think of something really good.

Anyone ever seen any accounting system go in straight, with zero
customization?

Heck, even if you had, is the idea that future customization is
easier, in case you do turn out to need it, not going to be a selling
point?

So ... what's the average availability / cost for FOSS modification
vs. a closed source package. I assume much, much better, for the FOSS.
