In my opinion only Magento is serious out of the open source ecommerce solutions. The business logic is extensive but it takes a long time to learn the skills needed to integrate it with other systems, e.g. for automatic stock updates.

Stick with Magento, it will be around for a while and when you have one system working you will be able to re-theme it, put new products in and use it on fresh projects. In that way the initial setup/learning is re-used.

I haven't had to go into it myself, but my understanding is that the Commerce project is what a lot of future effort in this area is going to center on.

Regarding your business logic point in particular, Commerce is intended to work similarly to Drupal itself as a framework to build things on(so a lot of functionality comes from further add-on modules) rather than trying to give you an all-in-one solution that necessarily has a bunch of unstated assumptions and limitations built in.
