Here's my take coming from a Cold Fusion
background with little WebDB experience.
If you need to do user input/output then
Cold Fusion is probably more versatile. Particularly when it get more
complex. I didn't read that in your post.
If your goal is data presentation with
some drill-down, WebDB may work well for you.
