render queue manager advice

[fraggle]

Hello,
I'm still working to settle my own small renderfarm composed of several L5420 bi cpu (don't know yet own many I will add), probably more than 10 if I stick to vray 2.x license policy.
As backburner have always been messy, I'm looking for an alternative, to run with max/vray.
after some research, I find out that very few render queue software support 3dsmax:
-http://www.squidnetsoftware.com/
-http://www.thinkboxsoftware.com/deadline/

The first one is affordable, 80 USD whatever the number of node, while the second is very expensive for 10 node.

What's your opinion? Do you have anything else to recommend?
Thanks

Keep going with Backburner. Simple and suitable for small farms.
