That does look pretty cool, Will definatly look into it a bit more
The only problem is, I'm already a fair bit into my current project... do I want to scrap a large part of it and try it out with DM?

It depends on how much you think DataMapper offers you. In any case, it's still work having a play about with.
I've built most of my app, apart from what could potentially be the largest part (the forum), and every time I get started, something like DataMapper presents itself. What I really like about it, is that it's ideal to cope with customisation and it actively encourages better database design.
Granted, the user will need to look into ORM in order to extend the code, but I don't think is a bad thing. Essentially, the end user will only be customizing views and adding functionality. I doubt they'd need to mess about with the database structure, and even if they did, it doesn't matter anyway.
