Just thought Id say, Ive been playing with Mambo for awhile and think 
its definately one of the better ones.
I tried Drupal and found it hard to "get into" but Mambo out of the box 
has a terrific backend. Ive added some components (such as the phpShop 
ecommerce component) and was pleasantly suprised that it also provided a 
backend for product management that was completely integrated into the 
existing backend. Very cool.
