When I was looking for a configuration management system, I too was impressed by cfengines theoretical underpinnings. however I also went with ansible. mainly because the cfengine story was "commit your entire configuration world immediately to cfengine" and ansible's was "you don't need to commit to anything, we will ease you into it. first, here is how you run a command remotely...." Not needing an agent really won me over.
