Perhaps others are in the same boat as I am, evaluating this software.

So FYI, I downloaded a demo of Merlin and this particular function is very intuitive and easy. No scripts, no work-arounds - didn't even have to read instructions. I was able to set up my test project very easily.

Has anyone objectively compared both products?

I would be intersted if the Omni folks could direct me to the benefits of OmniPlan vs. Merlin.
