RE: OpenGroupware vs. OpenExchange?

Actually I was looking for the Open Source version of the project (www.open-xchange.org) and just started playing with their online
demo. I thought I would give that a shot as it appeared to have a better set of instructions for setup with it and since I have a
clean server setting here after having had to reload after the OpenGroupware failed experiment. According to someone at the IPN
meeting last night the SLOX connector to allow Outlook to talk to it went Open Source this month also. 
 
I was really hoping somebody could contrast the two from a functionality and ease of maintenance perspective. OGo has more
accessories contributed to it, but it's a moot point if it's a PITB to setup and maintain for both myself and the client. The full
Pay-For Open Exchange is still more than the client is looking to pay in the end, for just 10 users.

I'm hoping to test Open Exchange next month and pending a positive result move my office to it.  I'll let you know what I find out
(if I can find a trial version anywhere)

I did a quick look through the archives and did not see anybody who commented on either of these projects there. Is there anybody
who has installed either project who would be willing to discuss with me the plusses and minuses of their installation(s). I am
looking for a good Exchange replacement and while calendaring (specifically group calendaring) appears to be a weak point for both
of these projects, it's not a requirement for right now. 

I've worked with OGo on FC3 and have not successfully managed to get it installed yet. I have no experience with OE as yet.
