Mark, I seem to remember an OT thread on this list not so long ago in which several users of Intuit products complained about their intrusive installation control strategy. Don't recall if it was just TurboTax or all their apps, but IIRC it involved some sort of spyware program that was impossible (or very difficult) to remove even after uninstalling the program. That might be a consideration, if it applies to Quicken. Other listers may have a better memory or personal experience that clarifies the question.

Thank you for confirming it. Is anyone aware of any user interface issues that would lend weight one way or another?

Both also work with the two major tax packages TaxCut and TurboTax. Whatever new feature one introduces you can expect to see in the other's next release, so it is mainly a matter of personal preferences.

I'm not even sure what questions to ask myself in order to determine my criteria for choosing such a package. Price is not a limiting factor, however the 80/20 rule may very well apply here. I don't necessarily want to pay double the price for only 20% more options unless they are value-added options either in time savings or functionality/interoperability. Although I have read the advertisements and feature lists I was hoping for some "real world" opinions.
