Your approach sounds fine in theory. I've no idea how much Koha ZOOM
costs, but I would have thought that would be at the cheap end of the
market in terms of the available products with support.

Evergreen seems to incorporate at least some of the NGC features you'd
expect to see in it's default web interface, so you could look at using
Evergreen for both admin and OPAC. Evergreen support is offered by
Equinox and LibLime I think, but it would be suprising (to me) that this
would be less than Koha + Koha ZOOM.
