I Just ordered the update (3.0) of Steinberg's Pro-24.  According to the
notice I got, it adds many new features to 2.1 including more intuitive
editing (click and drag), drum editing, and a completely new manual
(Let's hope it's better than the previous ones).
3.0 should be available to everyone in about a month.
They have just started shipping updates to previous customers.  (I got
my notice yesterday).

I found that Dr. T's did not have some features that I need.
I'm a classical guitarist, not a keyboard player, so
I need to be able to enter some data in standard music notation.
The Pro-24 let's you do this, although it's not a real scoring program.

In general I'm quite pleased with the Pro-24.  (I second Craig's opinion on
the lousy manuals, though.)
