The new one is primarily a movie database, which keeps track of all my movies in XBMC and allow "quality upgrades".
Both are equally suited to have a function to add "latest movies" based on IMDB, which is the area with the biggest overlap.
For CP to upgrade itself to a database system is a huge and massive change to how it currently is designed. I believe that Ruud will almost need to start from scratch. I would go as far that it may be easier to start off the SB to accomplish that given it has more in common. I always hoped that SB would go into movies, but there is no interest at this point of time.
Joining forces is always better but those programs use such a different technology stack. Python vs. JAVA.
It would make more sense for couchpotato, headphones and sickbeard to join forces to make that a great Free Software experience.
