I wanted someone else to take a turn. PT is generally considered 
better than QB for inventory & for allowing data imports/exports 
and custom reports. QB will have similar or better data access
by January. 

The fundamental difference is that QB is designed to use forms,
to make it easy for non-accountants to use its powerful features. 
PT may be more powerful, if less flexible, but it is really better
for accountants and bookkeepers.

QB has 85% of the small business accounting program market once
dominated by QB. This may be because there are many more non-
accountants than accountants and bookkeepers.
