I looked at X-cart, but I wasn't happy with the cost for what I wanted.
Click Cart Pro is very affordable and has a free online discussion forum where you can get tech support from the programers or other users which is most useful.
There are a few bad (or, at least, less good) points to it, eg the documentation could do with work and when there's something you want to change it's not always easy to find which particular module it comes from, but they're fairly minor niggles.

I'm getting very frustrated with images at the moment, X-Cart (and probably many other cart softwares) like all their images to be the same width. Requiring a lot of work to make this happen. Ideally it would like them to all be the same size 150x150, but that is not possible as we sell many portrait shaped products and the images cannot be resized to squares.

If you can get hold of Adobe Photoshop you can set up macros to batch re-size images which saves a hell of a lot of time!
What I did was to set up two macros to resize them to 400 x 400 for the main images, I needed two options because one would size them by height to 400 px (ie a portrait shaped image) and the other would do the same but by width, I then clicked on the appropriate options.
Each would then resize the "canvas" for the other dimension to 400 px wide or high so they all ended up in the right format.
It took about 5 minutes to resize a couple of hundred images that way!
