I'm currently building a store in ZenCart and so far I love it.

The attribute system is the only thing bothering me. I can see how it would work great if I were selling t-shirts or something, where I can make a size attribute and copy it to every product, but instead, I have a lot of products that need their own attributes. Is there any way to simplify things?

I work for a company that sells construction and surveying equipment. For one of our products, a data collector, there are 10 different versions of it, the only difference is the included software bundle and price. Do I really need a separate attribute with 10 different values for that one product, or is there an easier way to set something like that up that I'm just missing? I'm going to have to find a different option, I think, rather than sift through hundreds to thousands of attributes every time I want to add one to another product.

Any help would be appreciated!
