I am in need of a full featured chat room solution that offers vb integration, a good interface and chatting experience to 25 - 60 concurrent users. I do not want a hosted solution. I do not think a chat room should cost more than a few hundred bucks.

Flashchat or IRC are not an option.

I found these solutions:

cometchat
Arrowchat
Avchat
Gchats
phpopenchat
Gagalive
v3chat
Prochatrooms
Flasherize
123flashchat
Addonchat
Realchat
Parachat
Flashcoms seems extremely expensive.
Digichat
sparkweb
Blab IM
Mibbit

Logician explains his views on Digichat, Flashchat, Realchat, Parachat in his blog: http://www.logician.org/8-chat-appli...lchat-parachat

What are your opinions on the above? What chat room would you recommend and why?
