I can't help you specifically with these apps, but Quickbooks is something I would approach with a high degree of caution. A couple years ago, they released an update that had a nasty bug that led to data loss. It took two patches to fix it. I know bugs are a way of life, but something this unusually nasty coupled with Intuit's relatively poor track record on the Mac would make me very wary.

BTW... I just dug up a link on CNET with an extensive listing of the type of software you are looking for, some with user reviews. I'm not having any luck finding reviews for Distribute in particular, though they do have a demo that you can try out indefinitely.

Thank you. Didn't see the CNet list before.
