David, I believe your right in the the Holy Grail does not exist but I made the switch from PSM because of the many things it does not do well. The problem of using a dongle (software enabler) on the road was simply ridiculous. As to it being everything I need ... not by a long shot! It was a good entry level thing but it just doesn't have enough in it. So far PTBiz is the best I've seen but it needs a lot of work still.
