Cybercash vs Mark Twain Digicash?

Hello. I've been off the list for quite a while now, so I'm not up to 
date on the current ecash schemes. My company (a major internet service 
provider with a lot of web advertising clients) is looking into which 
digital cash method would be best to support for use on our customer's 
web pages. The head of the web department has taken a look at several, 
and is torn between Mark Twain's stuff and Cybercash. I was wondering if 
people who have looked at these systems could give me a rundown on the 
major differences. I know that Mark Twain is nice and secure (or at least 
I *think* I know that) but Cybercash is signifigantly easier to use. Any 
comments would be welcome, and to keep list volume down (I assume it's 
still as busy as ever) I'd be happy to recieve replies via direct email, 
and sumarize for the list.

Despite its lack of popularity with many cypherpunks, I'm
occaisonally a fan of FV.  Yes, they blow big chunks in marketing.
Yes, they're selling a cheesy hack to move credit cards.  Yes, they
sit on merchants cash for 90 days.

	But..

	I can set up a client account for $2, a merchant for $10.  I
can set up the client account in literally three minutes.  I don't
need special software distributed in binary for machines I don't
have.

	I don't like it, but the low tech cheesy solutions often beat
out better stuff because they are cheap & low cost of entry.  Not to
start a religious war in this area, bit witness wintel.
