I haven't seen the demo.
But i use NOTATOR for scoring a 17 piece orchestra for a ballet
about every 6 weeks.  
The musicians find the scores exceedingly easy to read.
The newest version of NOTATOR supports laser output and
slanted beams.         
NOTATOR is considered the state of the art for integrated
scoring and sequencing.  WHen you add up the cost for other
packages that are separate sequencers and scoring programs..
your cost is roughly the same.. while you don't  have benefit
of working with ONE program.
