Bottom line - the quality of scores produced comes down, in the end, to the creativity of the composer. I've been using Finale for years now (since that is what my teaching institution had invested in), but have also admired what I've seen of Sibelius. Both programs are a godsend to the composer/arranger, but let's not forget that in essence the respective companies are producing tools for craftsmen, not the works of art themselves. Can you imagine carpenters arguing about the brand of hammers they use, or being swayed by the claims of rival saw manufacturers? I suspect in the end that people who use both products will stay with what they are familiar with, because learning a whole new way of interacting with the software will slow down the creative process.
