Yes! Time and effort are the key advantage. In my inexpert opinion, if you 
want your documents to look really, really nice, use some form of TeX and 
an output device that does 1200 dots per inch or better. You can get 
TeX implementations on both Unix and Macs. TeX was designed to handle 
weird mathematics. The Mac advantage is in optimizing your time.

I recently showed some Full Impact charts to a friend who really likes 
PCs. I was quietly amazed at what he said he would need to do to make 
similar charts.

I like the idea of a one on one contest. Perhaps a third party could 
select a suitable test case, such as a page from a chemistry book or 
other tough typesetting, and let you both try to duplicate it.
