Apropos this discussion on Quicken, does anyone have any direct
experience comparing Quicken to MacMoney?  Or does anyone know of any
detailed reviews that contrast the two?  

From the descriptions, Quicken seems similar to MacMoney, except that
offhand there are a few additional capacities.  The one that stands
out to me is besides having 250 category codes (which can be
optionally marked tax-categories for producing reports for tax time),
you can also have a second dimension of ID codes, for breaking up
those categories differently.  Someone mentioned that Quicken allowed
you to print a logo on laserwriter checks, I don't think MacMoney
includes this.  There must be other differences.  I'm interested
because I was just getting ready to set up using MacMoney but would
rather use the most flexible system.  

thanks,
