I have Acrobat Reader 5. With 'smooth line art' unchecked, your examples all have distinctly irregular line thicknesses on my screen. Sibelius has fewer at 100%, but they get worse at higher magnification -- not equal until 1000%. Finale #2 has the same problem, but it's not as bad. Finale #1 gets better at intermediate magnifications, but at 1200% is irregular again. Checking smooth line art unchecked fuzzies up the edges, and at least makes it look somewhat balanced at 100%.

On-screen, the lines are still irregular in Acrobat 5 -- very noticeable at 100%. And just as ugly as mine or Dennis's. All the examples print with irregular line thicknesses, but I'm attributing that to the resolution of the non-PS laser printer.
