Well, it is true you get what you pay for. I guess a lot of it depends upon what you are trying to do with it. Personally, I use it mostly for scanning and isolating those securities that I have interest in long term. I don't trade off of it at all.
Then when things look like what I want, I use AB with IB or TS to verify my findings. Then I take the trade... I like the idea of using a couple of data sources to ensure what I am trading.
