The guys up north do decent support but if you ever run into a problem it may end up in a blame game of whos fault it is. I am from the school if you should keep it all the same meaning, if you use Autodesk software and that is it, then buy autodesk software.
Those guys have some neat little tools like my former emplyer did so it may be the addational functionality.They may just not have updated it to the latest version and or are use to what they have.So in reality they really are already on LT (just with a few special toolsbars). They have their own 2D CAD program but last time I check it was jsut AutoCAD OEM. Radan does sheet emtal programing for CNC cutters and benders. I used to work for a compeditor of Radan and I know their VP pretty well. And felt that there are people here with a lot more experience than me in all aspects of CAD design. Hance my quest to see if we could put up an informed argument about why they should consider change. In their technical office they have a guy that still only uses a drawing board! They also have very "experienced" designers that are well versed in using Radan but are ignorant in using any other software. I think hidstorically they used to use the sheet metal (bending and sheet development) properties in the past but they do not have any presses any more so that is not a reason to use it.
Integration is a problem with them, they say that they can't exchange information with AutoCAD too easily and they have problems when trying to share drawings with architects. they sit there with calculators and work out what the dimensions should be! I have had a brief look at their software, and therir release may be old too! They produce drawings TO SCALE and also dimension accordingly.
