I am having a hard time deciding to go with EM or PS. I am looking for a good site (to customize) to show my work but also sell.
Exposure Manager is much cheaper but does not have stock selling options (if thats what you call it). PS is much more expensive but seems to have very good customization, able to sell prints, and has stock photo selling. However, EM has unlimited storage whereas PS has a limit...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Blake

I have both an EM and PS site, they serve different purposes really. Selling wise I would choose EM 100%, however, PS offers stock of your images to sell to media outlets - have fotoquote in the package, etc. The question comes up will you sell enough stock images to offset the costs of PS?

I am probably going to ditch PS and use EM exclusively because it will save a lot of $$ a year and has unlimited storage. EM you can costomize to the point of at least having a searchable gallery and each photo can have info about purchasing for stock. I'm not sure yet, and if PS had unlimited storage I would keep it for sure, but it doesn't.

Here is an example of the costomization you can do with EM...
