I've had pretty good luck w PP FM. Can you post links to a test between both NLEs w FM applied.
I much prefer Avid when working for post-pro companies with assistants who can prep the project for me. When working from home, doing all the prep myself, I still like Avid, but it doesn't matter: I can't seem to get directors and producers to let me use Avid. They all use PP; they want me to give them the job back as a PP project so they can open it. They don't use Avid.
There are lots of things I dislike about PP, but there's one thing that makes Avid essential for my corporate work: Fluid Morph. Of all the effects in PP that are inferior to Avid, the Morph Cut vs. the Fluid Morph is the most shocking. How can Adobe's effect be so dramatically inferior to Avid's? When a director demands PP, I've imported scenes into Avid to cut with fluid morphs, then bounce them back to PP. My favorite was a spokesperson who had a terrible, terrible stutter and was supposed to deliver his section to the camera without cutaways. Between the dozen or more fluid morphs I used, a pop in or two and one cutaway the client allowed, you'd never know the guy stuttered.
