Limitations of EndNote?

I am in the process of evaluating EndNote for managing bibliographies.  I 
have looked at the EndNote Plus demo and have read a copy of the EndNote
manual.  Out of this, I would like some clarification of what you get in
EndNote Plus which is not in EndNote.  In particular:

1. I see that all references in one paper must be to the same bib library.  
   I would find this awkward since I would like to maintain a number of
   libraries on different subject areas.

   Is this also a limitation with EndNote Plus?  Is there any plans to 
   overcome this limitation?

2. In view of the above, it is necessary to merge separate libraries before 
   using them in a paper, but then the record numbers for the entries will 
   change.  Hence it is recommended to keep a copy of the library with each 
   old paper (to maintain synchronisation).  To me this is rather messy.  

   Is it more flexible under EndNote Plus?  

3. I could find no mention of size limitations, e.g. bib library sizes or 
   number of references.  Is there a limit (other than available disk space)?

4. I have found the endnote ftp access site and the contributions for 
   importing other bibliography formats.  Since you always find a format that
   no-one has written a translator for, is there some way to customise your
   own import format?

Thanking you in anticipation of your reply.
