It appears that there are people out there who have used both
Expressionist and MathType.  I currently use Expressionist, but am
interested in MathType.  Here's your big chance to convince me to
spend $150 on MathType (Expressionist can be had for $50).

Some of the things I'm interested in:

    *	How smart is it about recognizing standard functions when
	deciding to italicize things?

    *	Can it do TeX to equation as well as equation to TeX?

    *	How does the printed output compare to that generated by
	Expressionist and TeX?
