Yet Another "Looking for Shopping Cart" Question

I've put together a few oscommerce sites, usually quite customized with
contributions. I now need to implement another ecommerce site and have found
oscommerce to fall a little short in some of the requirements that I need for
this site.

- Sophisticated search criteria such as can be seen at www.primewines.com. Not
easily done with oscommerce.

- It would be additionally nice to have search criteria dynamically created. If
I'm selling guns and butter, selecting the Guns category would not allow me to
select "Blue Bonnet" from the list of manufacturers. Newegg is a great example
of this, but I can't recall such a feature on off-the-shelf products.

- Ability to allow user to specify customization options for specific products
(e.g., name on a bracelet.) Not easily done with oscommerce.

- Different agreement boxes to order different products (e.g, some products
might require an over 18 checkbox; customized products would have a no refund
agreement.) Not easily done with oscommerce.

- Order editor (modify existing orders; add/delete products, modify charges,
addressee, etc.) oscommerce has a great Order Editor contribution; some
shopping carts don't have any way to modify an existing order

- Flexible discount coupons options, gift certificates.

The product should be based on Php/Linux and not Asp/Windows. I want to
purchase it and host it, rather than pay a subscription fee and/or use the
vendors host. Of course, it should be fully customizable (css, category and
product templates, etc). Search engine friendly.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
