I recently installed the latest release of OpenSEF 2.0.0 RC 5 SP2 and I've got to say i'm impressed. It's compatible with SEFAdvance sef_ext.php extension. The backend admin is clean and easy to follow. Most importantly, it's FREE! Now who would want to buy SEFAdvance?
I use SEFAdvance on my other sites. It's a nice product. The only bad thing about it is it's not free. Paying is bad if a better product out there is free. With SEFAdvance, you have to shell out 40 € (Euro) license fee per site. So I tested the latest release of OpenSEF and i'd say it beats out SEFAdvance with regards to built-in features.
One major advantage I see with OpenSEF is the SEF url management. It means you can customize the SEF url however you want it. Plus, it has other built-in tools like Google sitemap generator and SEO assistant.
Looking at the performance comparison that the OpenSEF folks did, it uses less queries compared to SEFAdvance. And it works with 3rd party commercial products' SEF extensions.
