Default Considering a Switch, Will I find what I need?

I use Invision at the moment, and I adore it... But my site is growing at an annoying rate, and the more action you have, the better more flexible features you need... u.u Evil users. I've been looking at VB and some of the features are very similar, and some are new and attractive. I'd like to see if it's worth the cash to spend or if I need to kidnap a coder and lock them in my basement. XD

I am looking for the following things! If they are standard features (yay!) or mods somewhere, that'd be great. Most of these things I currently have installed on my Invision and I would like too keep, others are mods I really really need but have yet to find somewhere.

Spell Checking - I think this already standard?

Multiple Subforums - Subforums within subforums!

Forums/Member Pruning - With multiple options like last active date, register date, post date, ect, ect.

Site Intergration - The ability to create outside pages using the VB skins AND/OR simply member protect pages where a user must be logged or in a certain user group to view outside pages. Including pages inside and outside of the VB forum folders...

Portal Index - can be the index or a seperate page, inside or outside of the VB folder.

Refferal System - New resgisters can input who reffered them and users refferals will display in thier profile.

Shared Members - Run multiple forums using the exact same members tables. (or other user tables such as avatars, skins ect...)

Topic Ratings - ratings of topics!

RPG/Battle/Shop System - Another thing I'd reeaaally like to keep for my board. Battling, Items shops ("dud" items and board feature items), money, ect.

User Alias - Allow users to create multiple aliases with seperate avatars and siggys without having to register multiple accounts. They can choose which alias to post with while posting a new topic/reply/poll <- REALLY REALLY need this. I'd switch for this option alone. And if it doesn't exist and someone is interesting in coding this, I can explain it's functions down the the nitty gritty details.

I've read some messages about Invision crapping out when you get around 50megs of database usage... Is this true or just random gossip? Cause my board is well on it's to being that active and I might hurt someone if my forums crash again. (and this time not being my own fault. u.u) Along this note, my boards are pretty active, so is there lots of room to really grow and expand on VB without taxing the resources? (bandwidth and database uses especially!)

And is it possible to switch from Invision to VB without loosing all of my forum data? (not including mods, since I'm already sure something like that can't usually be converted. XD)

Help is very much appreciated!
