What kind of fundraising database do we need?

We are a charity offering support to bereaved children in Berkshire, we need to raise around £165,000 annually to maintain the current service. We currently use excel as our main database tool. We need a database to record supporter details, mailing list info, donor info, client info etc.. We are in the process of researching a more efficient, easy to use database software package, I'm aware that Raiser's Edge is used throughout the sector but this is too large and expensive for us. What product would you recommend for this size of charity?
