Merlin seemed to have more functionality, but I didn't like the interface as well. Maybe someday I will regret this choice to favor easy-of-use over functionality, but for now I'm happy with it.
FWIW, I did notice that Merlin will open OP native files directly, but I couldn't get OP to open Merlin's native files. Should I ever wish to switch to Merlin (and I hope Omni will be able to persuade me to stay), it appears I will be able to covert my data over.

Hi,
I saw the above comment before I tried Merlin2 and OP, and it was something I'd not thought of as important.
However, since both export to .MPX it was easy to export and re-open from one to the other.
My tester project wasn't very complex, but things seemed to be ok - except colour changes in OP weren't carried to M2.
I'm sure someone with both could do a more detailed test to make sure things are ok, not just seem ok to my untrained eye.
