Both of these have just come out in v 3.0, a fairly significant upgrade.  They
are fairly similar, according to a recent MacWeek (?) review.  The reviewer
said that Expressionist is a bit more flexible--it will even do "tree"
diagrams--whereas MathType is more user friendly.  Last June, MathType was
offering a demo on a floppy for $5; if you ordered the full version, you got
the $5 credited to the cost.
