Thank you very much for your quick response. This has helped me exponentially, and I have some idea of what to talk to my client about today.
After reading through your answers and then looking up successful social communities like ones from the link below that evoke some of the success that my client is working towards, I realized that there is another question I bet many of us are wondering about.
What kind of revenue is/and can be developed from one of those BuddyPress communities. Given, we can’t tell our clients “This “$___” is a range of how much revenue and traffic you should expect to receive from your BuddyPress social community.” But, it would be nice to know from these communities how much they get in revenue. I know that for some this doesn’t apply – because they are not-for-profit communities. However, the traffic volume question is a good one for all these successful communities and would help us BuddyPress builders as we work with our clients and plan for the future.
Thank you enormously & sorry about all the repetitive language in my original question above!

Your answer was more than I could have hoped for.
I am very excited to know that a new version of buddypress is on the make. I cheer the engineers on and hope they consider lots of flexible header options. 😉
Also, I’m now thoroughly studying the ‘https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes’ with an aim to figure it out, as I think I might love coding, & though I have no idea what I’m doing half the time,… I seem to spend days on this stuff …. there’s no end to the fun.
Zuckerberg may have created the first ‘popular’ version, but not the last.
