Color Engine 10 vs. ALWAN? Any comments

[naplajoie2000]

We are having a discussion in our shop with the color managers supporting Alwan software and our prepress managers wanting them to give Color Engine 10 (old kaleidoscope) a look. We are using Esko Backstage and packedge and we feel that the Color Engine option would work better than a third party app. My question is: do they compare to each other and is there an advantage to one over the other in color management?
