My two cents:

I've been using Professional Composer since 1985 and followed
it through its upgrades.  It's pretty functional in traditional
scoring of music - I do string quartets with it usually.   
It has a lot of symbols I don't use, so I can't estimate its
worth in doing, say, percussion music or some one of a kind
notation of your own.

As much as I've liked it in the past, I'm beginning to consider
the purchase of Finale.  ProComposer updates have been less
'improving' than they used to be, IMO.  I ran into a few things
which I consider to be missing when I wrote a piano piece - you 
can't slur or beam across the piano grand staff, bass to treble.
When I contacted MOTU about this, they were very nice, but the
reply was, basically, "Well, you're right.  Hmmm... we'll let you
know if we ever do anything about it."

IMO, they're much more interested in their sequencer, Performer, and
it's addons (Time Piece, etc.).  I can't complain too much;   I
use Performer and think it's great!



So maybe I'll win the lottery and buy Finale...
