QuestionDock Panel Controls - Which One [modified] Pin

I've been been tasked redevelop a bespoke application that's showing its age, it's functionally very rich but it's UI is circa Windows 3.0 and it's internal architecture makes it costly to maintain. It's written in C/MFC with a proprietary "database", it's genesis goes back to the late '80's.

The stakeholders agree that the application cries out for a dock panel interface a'la Visual Studio etc. I'd really appreciate knowing what products folks have used to implement a dock panel user interface and their experiences in doing so - rolling our own is not an option we would want to persue.

I've identified five potential sources for a dock panel control, please tell me of any others. My client is a non-for-profit so the budget is limited, but it's not zero. Major considerations include access to source (free, escrow or pay (within reason) are all acceptable), robustness (even at the expense of some functionality), support costs & quality and documentation.

AvalonDock - open source, free, lives at Codeplex, it's a "vanilla" dock panel control, it's the successor of http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPFdockinglib.aspx[^]

Nevron UI for .NET - proprietary, costs US$169, this library includes other stuff beside Dock Panel, which has some attractions

JastDev Docking Control - proprietary, costs US$78, supports XAML Browser Application development which has some appeal, does not include much other than the dock panel control.

Actipro - Docking & MDI Control - costs US$149, includes a fairly extensive set of atomic controls. Actipro have a bundle for US$499, that adds ribbons, navigation, property grid etc, this too has some appeal.

Dock Panel Suite - open source, free, lives at Source Forge, it's a vanilla WinForms dock panel control (I missed this one in my original post, thanks to John Simmons for reminding me of its existence)
