Yeah I reviewed it once and determined that 95% of they do we can do with the above modules + some manual work with http://spriteme.org/ I decided that the remaining 5% wasn't worth the price.

Thanks for feedback
Much appreciated. We're already partway through our own FOE work on multiple sites, so skipping to Blaze would be partially redundant.
@mikeytown2, just noticed that the new headjs modules plays nicely with advagg, which is my favorite module of 2011. Thanks for all the fantastic work there.
I have no opinion on HeadJS vs LABjs...anyone else? They both have potential conflicts with JS libraries. The headjs-advagg integration is a plus. Someone is arguing for LABjs in D8 core.
