I'm in the process of changing from EndNOte+ to Reference Manager Pro
for Windows (yes, Windows!).  I've found to pretty much match EndNote
feature for feature (at least those that I care about) plus it has
several that make it a bit easier to use than EN.  Further, its capture
facility is more complete in terms of the sources that it will import
from.  The bigest drawback tthat it has is that, as noted above, you can
only have a single "large" database (actually, for a fee, you can obtain
additional large databases).  Initially, I felt that this was a
limitation since I have 25,000+ references.  However, it has a facility
whereby you can create a kind of subview into the database and only work
with portions as if they were separate databases.  Further, the fact
that it will hold all of my references in one database is an improvement
over EN.  As far as cost is concerned, it's about $250 without the
capture facility and closer to $400 with.
