One tool that you may want to look at to help you "understand"
this problem is "Nextra" from Neuron Data.  It runs on a Mac II
and is an interesting tool for decision analysis.  This won't
solve your problem of what features to suggest for what type
of problems - but it may help you understand the whole problem
better.  It is good for seeing (graphically) relationships between
characteristics of the different tools - that you may not have
seen before.

You can post me directly if you need more info on this tool.  I 
have only briefly played with it yet - but it sounds ripe for
your application.
