Is vBSEO for vB4 Worth The Money?

[8thos]

A friend of mine who also has vB4 publishing suite recently bought vBSEO. We share the same host, URLJET. One of the techs installed it wrong so they asked them to fix it, the 'fixed it' and it's still causing issues. I'm going to help them out with this really soon. While I was researching vBSEO I looked at their features list. After reading that list, I can't figure out why anyone with a vb4 forum would buy this as most of it's features come standard in vB4:

http://www.vbseo.com/en/feature-matrix/

All standard in vB4 right?

Keyword-friendly URLs (Threads)
Keyword-friendly URLs (Member Profiles)
Keyword-friendly URLs (CMS)
Keyword-friendly URLs (Blogs)
301 Redirect Old Standard URLs

WTF is this for?

Permalinks (Posts)

Useless.

Social Bookmarking Per Thread Already got that

Looking at that list, for the money, it still isn't worth it in my opinion. Maybe they are seeing something that I don't see. I read vBSEO's success stories and it mostly applies to people who had old vb2 and vb3 forums. vB4 seems to have solved most of it's SEO issues.

Although I don't think vbSEO is worth the price, they are selling themselves short:

Full Pingback/Trackback/Refback System

^^^That feature says it's not available for vBSEO but I've seen it on vbSEO sites with vB4.
