Need your opinion ASAP

Hey guys.

I need your help. And sorry for saying it’s “urgent”, but I’ve been procrastinating for too long, now I’m running out of time :/

Long story short: I have a new website being developed. I’ll be using a template from Bigcommerce (it’s been decided for many reasons, it’s the only option now). I need to choose a template to start, and need your opinion.

I have 3 very similar templates that would work for me. Please disregard completely any photos or text on the templates. Think only about the look and feel of the site. I will have the full graphics customised, the template is only to save on development at this stage and know where thing will show.

One important thing that will change on the template is the menu. At the moment, you have only 1 tier of options (Ladies, Men, etc). The final website will have 3 tiers:

- Brand
--- Model
------ Category

As in:
- Kawasaki as brand
--- Ninja300R as model
------- Mirrors as category.
------- Windscreens as category.
------- Fairings as category.
------- Etc as category. as category.

Keeping in mind the photos, colours, text and industry of these templates have nothing to do with my business, please give me some feedback of what you think about:

- Easy of navigation (menu in the right place, easy to find parts for your model)
- Looks (not heave on the eyes, nice small visual effects,
- Good features (account, compare list, shipping cart, contact)

And I would appreciate if you could say:
- Which template looks better as a whole?
- Which features of the 3 templates you like most?

Payment gateway for now will be only PayPal and bank deposit. Postage only Australia Post, but will add 2 couriers later on, as they are much cheaper.

Guys, I really appreciate your time helping me out. It’s a big investment for a family owned small business, so it has to work… That’s why I need your help.

Hopefully, the new site will have some very nice new features, such as reward points, gift certificates, “email to friend” link on each page, tutorials, etc.

Thanks a lot for your help!
