Wow, this is an interesting thread. I actually experienced the complete opposite.

I started with FPSS and received NO support at all. Luckily there were a couple of folks that I knew that had lots of computer knowledge that were able to help me get it adapted for my vBadvanced page. Unfortunately, the FPSS was giving me problems after the fact and having errors every 3rd page impression or so. I was not very happy at that point and still received no support, so I started looking around for another option.

I ran into Lionel online (can't remember if it was here or vBulletinSetup.com) and he helped me tremendously in getting the vBslideshow setup and I've been using it ever since!

The vBslideshow didn't give me any issues to install and it was mainly due to the fact that Lionel stayed on via PM and guided me until I got it installed and modified to my liking. I'm sorry, but that is customer support to the max! Plus, the main reason that I was considering vBslideshow was the fact that there were no queries and it had an option for audio to be added as well.

I will support Lionel because I have had no issues whatsoever with his support or products. As a matter of fact, I have referred LOTS of folks over to his products (and they've all been happy) so much so that I became an affiliate for his line of vBulletin products.

I would suggest that anyone considering either product should do their research and ask questions at their forums, etc. Trust your own judgement and don't use anyone's past experience to make your decision.
