Modded And Skinned IPB To vB. Small Board

[Bunny1]

I run a EXTREMLY small board (8 members) due to mysql errors (upgrading IPB 1.3 to 2.0)
I have been a big fan of vB since I saw a IPB forum upgrading to it
But with such a small board... Is it worth it?

I like forums because its fun to mod em and add skins to em and play around the acp.

I have tried the admin demo many times and must ask you:

1. Are the ods easy to install? Or do they give a challenge?
2.If I buy a leased version, can I upgrade to full with out paying the full 160 again?

I run a heavily modded IPB. About 20 mods (unless that aint hevaly modded)
I see so many mods here so I would like installing em.
But the problem is skins.
Ive taken a look at vBulletintemplates.com and am not impressed. Its terrible compaired to invisionize (IPB resourse site)
And thats saying a lot for IPB 2.0 due to lack of skins.

I do not want to come to vB with out knowing a skin is waiting for me.

1. Did you have trouble finding a free skin?
2. If you requested a free skin, did you get it?
3. Do you still use the defualt skin?

Now back to square one. Is it worth it? With a small board I dont know it I want to spend that much money and maybe not succeed
