For me, it's largely a toss up, but I am finding more and more that sites still on 5 are there because it was difficult to go to 6, therefore will be difficult to get to 7. So, I am now approaching all D5 sites as though they are most likely going to need rebuilding. I have one major D5 site left currently, and I know it is going to be a rebuild of epic proportions (other bids have run in excess of $100K). But while we're at it, the site also needs a significant redesign, so we might as well bite the bullet and do it all together.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Also, having experienced going in behind someone that didn't know what they were doing makes rebuilding a higher likelihood.<br></span></div><div> </div><div><font
