I think I tried textpattern in my CMS-finding days but it didn't capture me like WP did.
Why don't you install them both on your server and give 'em a spin?
Thanks for the reply.

I actually have had a bit more experience with Wordpress over the years, and have found it to be flexible and quite easy to use. Textpattern's approach intriguied me, the flat CSS, the absence of the infamous 'loop' and the in-built possibilties that seem to take some more work in Wordpress. The problem with Textpattern is that it's not as widely used as Wordpress, therefore there's less actual quick-and-easy plugin style modifications that can be made.

I'm actually testing them off-line on a localised Apache install as I design the site and get it finalised. Just waiting for my domain to be registered and then I'll start some live testing.

Still haven't made up my mind yet
