So, the ads for these two packages don't really delineate why
I need to buy Canvas rather than UltraPaint for my routine technical
(scientific) drawing/illustration needs. Is the extra $ worth
it? Currently, Canvas 2.1 for $189 with free upgrade to 3.0 sounds
good, but how much more can I do with it compared to UltraPaint,
for $125 (both from MacConnection)? I mean, this really *is* a $64
question!

What's the scoop? Or is my best bet to buy one, try it out, and then
the other, and keep whichever one is best? (Sounds painful...)

Thanks for the info...and e-mail is preferred, though I'll try
to wade through the postings...
