After using both, I would have to agree.  I switched over to Font/DA Juggler
Plus.  The font list is one of the nicest features -- gives you a list on
the screen of each font -USING THE FONT-.  Don't know which font to choose?
It'll show you what each looks like.  The Beep sounds is very nice also --
I'd recommend getting the Sound->Snd converter from INFO-MAC archives.
Works with QuicKeys and everything else, allows you to insert a cmd-key
equivalent for opening up F/DA Juggler.

Disclaimer:  I beta-tested for Font/DA Juggler v2.0.  Back then I would have
             gone with Suitcase.  Not anymore...
