Money user thinking of converting

I switched from Money 2004 to Quicken 2005 (because Money 2005 was a disaster in my opinion). All checking, savings, and credit card accounts as well as Categories and payess transferred pretty smoothly. At the time I had no mortgage so I can really speak to a situation where you have an asset (house) linked to a loan.

The one thing that didn't transfer over correctly was my portfolio. I had several mutual funds and stocks held in a 401k and Roth IRA. I had to go back and manually adjust almost all transactions in my portfolio to have a proper cost basis, etc.

I've since upgraded to Q2006 and will be getting Q2007 once it's available at the local Costco. Overall, these are the contrasts I noticed switching from Money to Quicken:

Quicken doesn't hold your hand as much. Quicken doesn't look as good (although it was the "cuteness" of Money

I think the switch is highly recommended.

I've made the switch twice. There is no perfect financial program, imho. Money does a better job of tracking investments...seeing your overall picture, I think. But Quicken is easier to use. Six of one, half dozen of other. I keep Money to look at investments.

Thanks to you both for your insight...
