Here's two cents more.

By all means, go with Interleaf.  The command-based formatters, including
Tex, [nt]roff, and a host of variants, can't compare.  The biggest
comfort factor with WYSIWYG is that you're not working in the dark--
you can see what you're doing as you do it.

Cost doesn't seem to be a factor for you, since you have Tex and Interleaf
is on its way, and that's the only reason I can think of for not
using modern software.
