 * Hi there
 * Before I purchase these two themes I want to make sure that it is possible to
   use the hompage theme as “newton” and the rest of the website pages to be “sidewinder”

 * The guarantee needs to come from the people you buy the Paid Themes from, since
   they are the only ones who can refund your money if things don’t work out.
 * I should also mention that the homepage as one theme and rest of the site as 
   another theme ideally fits into the Subdirectory approach to WordPress Multisite,
   which would eliminate your requirement for this plugin altogether, since WordPress
   allows different Themes for different Sites in a Multisite (“Network”) installation.
 * Finally, I need to make it clear that David currently provides the official support
   for this plugin. These are just my comments on the subject.

 * I agree completely with Jon. Multiple Themes is a very cool plugin, but you’re
   crossing the beams, so use it carefully.
 * If you’re buying themes now, my recommendation is to search for one theme that
   can do it all. Don’t settle until you find it.
 * –David
 * P.S. Marking as resolved because sage advice has been provided.
