At last I heard, development of a DB was halted when the product changed hands.
I too have heard good reports for M2Sprint--it had a lot more bundled with it
(compared to Benchmark's separate packages), purportedly better code generation
(ie optimization), and at a good price.  Though, now with the fate of both
products in "seemingly" the same hands...I wouldn't recommend either package
over the other.

If Leon Frenkel still has a CI$ account, you might ask him about the
availability of both products.
