I would ekoe that -- our office has a contract with westlaw so there wasn't 
much choice for me.
Having said that, I use the text only version exclusively simply because I 
got myself trained on it and am sufficiently busy that using only one 
research tool is all that I can handle.
I find their tech support to be pretty good too.
I suppose my remaining complaint would be that What I'd really like  is to 
be able to get a Black's law dictionary installed on my hard drive. I like 
being able to look things up from a hard drive and not have to go online 
just because its accessible there. But thats just me - the computerized 
crowd view me, and justly so, as being a bit of a ludite.
