Also, the quality of the speech synthesizer which comes with NVDA is pretty
poor compared to what comes with WE (unless you're a braille user, this makes a
big difference). I have no idea how good the braille support is for NVDA
though.

Not quite right.
They will answer all your support questions on the mailing lists and via email,
it's only telephone support which is limitted. Anyone is allowed to sign up
for the mailing lists, download the free webinars, classes, and other materials
from the web site.
Also, they have a jaws "emulation" mode, where you can set the keyboard to use
the same jaws commands which you are used to.
