Hi Chuck,
I'm sure Bill knows this, but $150 is a *lot* of money to buy something sight unseen. A feature list is fine and all, but how do I know that his "productivity tips" are going to be useful to an experienced user? Also, at minimum, I need to see graphic examples of his package in action before I would even consider purchasing. Even then, no matter how good it is and how many people rave about it, I very much doubt I would pay that kind of money if I couldn't try it out first. TGTools and Patterson Plugins have limited trial periods, and they are both considerably less expensive, and, from a quick glance at what Bill's offering, appear to do considerably more.
If he's willing to offer trial versions and various levels and price points (i.e., Finale Productivity Package "Light," or just the chord symbol stuff as a standalone package), I might consider, but as it stands...

Darcy,
Go to
http://www.gwmp.com/MusicFontsFrameset.htm
and you'll see examples of the fonts that you can click on, and
individual pricing for font sets. It seems to be oriented around
Maestro-compatible extras, rather that JazzFont, though what I see
looks very good, particularly the harp fonts, if you find yourself
doing that often.
He has devised an ingenious workaround for slash-chords of both
types, though it would still be an enormous pain if you were using a
lot of them, as I'm sure you do! Finale should make this easier.
