We are in a similar situation. We have an EPICS and CDEV based
telescope control system upgrade that is as yet unproven while another
group at the observatory is starting to investigate CORBA as a part of
a new detector controller. Would be nice to not use two simiiar tools
where one would suffice.

CORBA is in use at least one site within the EPICS collaboration that
I know of - DESY.
