I'm glad you told me this, as I was just about to order the Preferred version.
I don't do as much MT as I do legal these days, but I do enough that I should
probably spring for the medical version. Can't afford $800 right now, but I
guess I'd better wait till I can afford that version then.

Had I known last year what I know now . . . wishing I'd gone that route awhile
back.

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it.
