You must be reading the pricing differently than I am. This stuff is not
cheap, but for single users it's priced along the lines of FrameMaker. For a
busy proposal manager that's not an unreasonable price to pay.
These are not purchases I would rush into. Both companies have sales teams
that will work with you to find appropriate solutions - I found they were
both motivated and responsive. Check them out, and decide if it's worth it.
I decided against it, but could see myself buying one of these tools in a
busier, stronger market. YMMV.
