EQUIOS vs Xmf

How sure are you about this? We switched over to XMF a while ago (over PRINERGY due to costs). We do a LOT of business with Fuji (~$30,000 a month), so I doubt they would price gouge but I can't help but wonder if we've paid a premium price for nothing.

After having seen them running in parallel on 3 different computer one near each other, I can assure that it's the same piece of software with same features but only different color in the interface mask.
Check and compare them on these youtube videos

I have been on Equios for 20 months now I believe? I had been on Trueflow since 2003. We created a pretty slick workflow that is saving us a ton of time. We change presses a lot from a 24 up on a Sanden to a 12 up on a VIP to a 12 up on a Hedielberg, etc.
We now create a workflow in the beginning that has all options already included. Middle of the night press change? Pressman simply pulls down on "Output Sanden 22" - and it comes out 24 up. Each new automation is a bit time consuming as we have to build 4-6 templates. But, when you get the level of automation that we have now it is fantastic.
We also setup hotfolders that go directly into that size. So, have an 8.5 X 11 that bleeds 4 up? Create a hot folder with all scenarios and drop the PDF on. I am down one FTE since implementation. No. I do not work for Screen.
