Have you used FlexxTheme, FlexxSqueeze and/or Thesis ?

These premium WordPress themes (FlexxTheme, FlexxSqueeze and Thesis) all seem to be somewhat similar, but I'm guessing there are bigger differences than meets the eye.

Has anyone here used at least two of these themes? If so, could you please share your thoughts on which theme you prefer, and why?

If it helps, I want a theme that would be best for creating regular looking websites and landing pages -- not sites that look like typical blogs.

Thanks in advance!

      I know you are asking for feedback on these three themes, but I hope you don't mind me jumping in a throwing you a fourth option. I'm personally a big fan of the Flex Themes, but as good as they are there are still a couple of things they don't do.

      If you take a look in my sig, you'll see I have a theme I have developed that allows you to achieve the results you described, plus additional IM specific functions such as advertising integration and twitter, facebook and so on. I won't go into too much detail as its all laid out in the WSO if you are interested.

      The theme is called the All-In-One IM Theme. It doesn't have some of the features the three themes you mentioned have, but it does have IM specific features that these other themes don't have. Which one fits you best depends on your priority needs.

      I have this available at $27 for warriors, and you can use it as many times as you like. For the price of a single domain license of FlexSqueeze, $69.99, I can create a custom version of this theme for you that you can use as many times as you like. You'll then have a completely unique theme that no-one else in the world is using.

      Otherwise, if my theme isn't a fit for you and you were tossing up between the three themes you mentioned, I would say FlexSqueeze is the best of the three. The big plus is access to the sales page template. Having a sales page template that you can use for landing pages is a huge time saver and makes life so much easier.

        Well, I'd kinda like to stick with one of these, but I'll certainly take a peek... thanks.

    Well, I took a look a look at Kezz's theme, but (as suspected) I'd prefer to stick with one of the other 3.

    If anyone else has used these themes I'd appreciate your comparison comments.

    Thanks again...

    Personally I'd prefer Flexx, while both offer great flexibility, flexx is much more powerful and helpful to achieve your goal if you're not too much in the coding side However, with someone who knows WP very well you can do anything you want in reality, none theme package will always allow you to really do ALL that'll you'd like to, eventually

    I have purchased and used both Flexx Theme and Thesis. For all around "best of the best" I would definitely choose Thesis. Although the Flexx Theme pitch page makes it seem like you can change infinite variables, you really cannot. Thesis seems to have more options and its just as easy (if not easier) for me to use than Flexx. Just my two cents.

    I've used Thesis and Flex and prefer Flex. It just gives you a lot of options so you can tweak your site and make it look good even if your a wordpress noob.

      This is great feedback. Thanks.

      Hmm, conflicting opinions!

    Well let me clarify: With Thesis (at least the updated version which is the only version I've ever used - the 1.5 version) with one keystroke you can change fonts, styles, the look and feel of most every important variable. However with Flexx I had to hire an Elance guy to make some pretty basic structural changes that, frankly, I can do easily in Thesis. This is just my opinion, I use and like both, but prefer Thesis.
