Eh... I think many of them are overrated. Invision has tons of features, but if you're just there for discussing a topic, it doesn't really add to any of the discussion. If someone is coming to you because they have the desire to discuss something they aren't going to leave because you don't have a shop, or blog, or whatever else feature. I wouldn't care if I was on a forum that was as basic as Invision 1.4 if they had an active community.
Don't get me wrong, I do like the features offered on paid software. I just don't think it benefits a discussion community, it's really more for businesses imo.
