You might want to consider sticking with CommonAdust, and possibly:

a)writing a usertag for use with the CommonAdjust chain
http://developer2.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/2001/msg05636.html

b)using an item modifier to handle the Early bird discounting;
Get the Minivend 4.x tar.gz from ftp.akopia.com and read the sections on 
CommonAdjust and Item Attributes.
