Slam,
You could use the search on this board to find users opinions on software. There also was a recent poll about who was using what.
Hurricane is right -- how sophisticated a user are you? All software has a learning curve, but it can be divided into two parts: 1) ease of use (how good is the interface) and 2) "expert" level usage (learning to get the most out of the software). I recently purchased a program that is very easy to use. However, I am definitely still in learning mode in terms of discovering all of what it can do.
Cost might be another factor. I feel that I purchased a great program at a great price.
These tips are of course referring to software tools, not black boxes. If you want one of those, read the current M. D. Kram Software thread or do a search.
In general, I think moving to software will at least save you time, and probably will help you uncover things you wouldn't have seen without it.
Good luck.
