I think that there are more things than that. Usability comes to mind. Number of settings available. Planes processing. DRC checking. It seemed I could never get the rules set up so I wouldn't have to change them somewhere along the design. Although Mentor also has a few in their own right, I used the expedition tool for 3.5 years and found myself continually saying "In allegro this would be easy..."

-----------------------------------------------------------Hi,
I work on both tools; the best features in Allegro compared to Expedition will be:
1. Ease of copy routing, placement, etc.
2. Ease of interaction with script
Hope this will help.
regards, Pek Har
